"Josh Allen recorded a season-high three rushing touchdowns -- and three passing TDs, for good measure -- in the Buffalo Bills' 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11, giving him 75 for his career. Only three times in NFL history, including the postseason, has a quarterback had three passing and three rushing touchdowns. Allen has done it twice (last year in a Week 14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams), and Otto Graham did it in 1954."
"Now in his eighth season, Allen is tied with Cam Newton for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. One more, and the record is his alone. However, Allen's Week 12 opponent, the Houston Texans, are one of three teams to not allow a rushing score to an opposing quarterback this season (the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts are the others). Allen is -120 to score a touchdown Thursday night."
"Matt Bowen: Yes. Allen's rushing usage is the low red zone is up, as he has five goal-to-go carries over his last three games. Look for that to continue Thursday, with Allen being deployed on designed run concepts in scoring position versus the Texans. Eric Karabell: Yes, he will score. Sure, the Texans play strong defense. Allen can't be defended at the goal line. Pamela Maldonado: Yes. When Houston locks down the pass near the goal line, Allen is usually the screw it and run it in himself kind of guy."
Josh Allen recorded three rushing and three passing touchdowns in Week 11, bringing his career total to 75 rushing touchdowns. Only three times in NFL history, including the postseason, has a quarterback had three passing and three rushing touchdowns; Allen accomplished that feat twice, and Otto Graham did it in 1954. Allen is tied with Cam Newton for the most career rushing touchdowns by a quarterback and needs one more to break the record. The Houston Texans are one of three teams not to allow a rushing touchdown to an opposing quarterback this season. Betting odds list Allen at -120 to score, with analysts projecting he will find goal-to-go or designed run opportunities against the Texans.
