Josh Allen reaches 81 career rushing touchdowns in game against Houston Texans

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recorded his second rushing touchdown of the game during the second quarter against the Houston Texans on Sunday. The score moved Allen to 81 career rushing touchdowns, tying him with Frank Gore and Ottis Anderson for 20th on the NFL’s all-time list. The touchdown provided the Buffalo Bills with a 17-14 lead while the game remains in progress. Allen, who is currently in his ninth NFL season, already holds the league record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, having previously surpassed Cam Newton’s career total of 75. The veteran signal-caller continues to climb the historical list, which is otherwise dominated by running backs. One additional rushing score will move Allen past both Gore and Anderson into sole possession of 20th place on the all-time leaderboard.
