Josh Allen proves he is one of one by making franchise history right after comeback win over Lamar Jackson and the Ravens
An incredible achievement for Allen.
The Buffalo Bills have a bona fide superstar in Josh Allen. When all hope felt lost, with fans leaving the stadium, Allen and the offense went nuclear in the fourth quarter against the Baltimore Ravens.
Allen had over 200 yards in the fourth quarter alone, which helped secure the victory in a wild finish for the team. Kicker Matt Prater, who joined the team less than 100 hours earlier, lined up and drilled the game-winner. He got an unforgettable gift from fans and teammates immediately after the game.
It was no surprise that after the dominant game Allen had, he was awarded the Week 1 AFC Player of the Week. For Allen, it’s the 16th time in his career, a franchise record, that he’s won the weekly award—and he did it after finishing the contest with 424 yards of total offense and four touchdowns.
The reigning MVP keeps adding to his trophy collection
While he did make franchise history, some additional record-breaking details emerged from the victory versus the Ravens that should fire up the Bills Mafia.
According to Buffalo Bills PR, Allen became the first player in NFL history to have 250+ passing yards and two or more rushing touchdowns in any quarter of any game. With his 251-yard fourth-quarter effort, Allen became the first player since Boomer Esiason in 1996 to achieve that feat.
Josh Allen is one of one, and his performance against the Ravens was proof
Want some more Allen stats? We got you. He recorded his third game where he had two passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, and more than 350 passing yards, which is the most in NFL history. Oh, and one more. In the victory, Allen set a new franchise record with 67 career rushing touchdowns. Not a bad day at the office.
We have a feeling that Allen might win a few more awards during his career with the Buffalo Bills. It was always going to be Allen winning this award, but seeing him continue to get recognition after being written off before playing a single snap makes each one that much sweeter.
It’s safe to say that the Bills did, in fact, outsmart all regular humans and the entirety of math itself when they drafted No. 17.
