But Allen had six total touchdowns — three passing, three rushing — in a 44-32 win over the Bucs, as Buffalo improved to 5-1 at home this season. It's only the second occurrence in NFL history that a QB registered three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns in the same game: Allen also did it in a 2024 loss to the Rams.
The gap between those disparate rankings ties Allen with Dallas’ Dak Prescott as the most betrayed QB in the league this season. Both are generally producing at high levels but having a harder time winning for reasons beyond their direct control. This wasn't the plan in Buffalo.
Josh Allen almost made an incredible play to convert a third-and-16. He took off down the field after escaping from pressure and tried to lateral the ball to Ty Johnson, but his "backwards" pass actually traveled forward so the Bills were penalized five yards from the spot of the foul and had to punt. They downed the ball at the 3-yard line.
