- Bills QB Josh Allen Makes NFL History Against Chiefs
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at Highmark Stadium on Sunday. Allen's famous duels with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in recent years made their 10th career meeting a must-watch for NFL fans in Week 9.
The Bills have won four straight regular-season meetings against their AFC rivals, but Mahomes holds a 4-0 record head-to-head against Allen in the playoffs and a 3-0 advantage in Super Bowl rings.

The Chiefs-Bills rivalry does not just include two of the best gunslingers of the current era. With his rushing touchdown with 1:33 left in the second quarter, Allen became one of the most accomplished quarterbacks of all time.
It was the 78th rushing touchdown of Allen's career, including the playoffs. He is now has the most by a quarterback in NFL history, passing Cam Newton 's mark of 77 career rushing touchdowns that Allen tied in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers .

He also broke a tie with Newton for the most games in NFL history with a passing and rushing touchdown, notching his 47th against the Chiefs.
It happened to be Allen's sixth rushing TD of the season, making him the first quarterback to acheive that feat in each of his first eight seasons in the NFL, according to Bills PR . The only other players who have done so were an elite group of running backs: Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson.

Allen has put his name among the best rushers in Bills history as well. His 70 regular season rushing TDs rank first in team history . The QB entered the game against the Chiefs needing just 43 yards to reach the fourth-most rushing yards in franchise history.

With two touchdowns of any variety, Allen (279) also had the chance to pass Mahomes (280) for second-most total touchdowns by a player before age 30, per Bills PR. Peyton Manning ranks first with 288.

For Allen, the ultimate goal has always been and will continue to be winning the franchise's first Super Bowl title. Last season when he won NFL MVP, his speech about the individual honor was simply, "Be good. Do good. God bless and go Bills."
Many people, Allen included, will feel that he needs a Lombardi Trophy to be recognized as one of the best quarterbacks of all time. If he does eventually make that breakthrough, he will already have the historic numbers to back it up.
