Josh Allen has more touchdowns than any other player to wear the Buffalo Bills jersey. Always.

In the second quarter of the Bills Football on Sunday evenings In the December 1 game, Allen hit wide receiver Mack Hollins to give the Bills a 21-3 lead just seconds before halftime. With this touchdown, the Bills quarterback surpassed Hall of Famer Jim Kelly.

Allen scored his 245th career touchdown at age 28 and in his 105th career game. It took Kelly eleven seasons and 160 games to score his 244 touchdowns. For Allen, being a dual threat helped him reach the milestone quicker than Kelly. Allen has 185 touchdowns through the air but another 58 on the ground. His predecessor only had 7 points on the ground – including six different seasons without rushing touchdowns.

Perhaps the least surprised person about Allen’s success is Jim Kelly himself. The Hall of Fame quarterback, who led the Bills to four straight Super Bowls, said years ago that he expected Allen to break all of his franchise records.

In fact, Kelly helped Allen understand what it takes to be successful in the NFL. In 2019, Allen’s first full season as the Bills’ starting quarterback, Kelly sat in on offensive meetings where Buffalo tried to help Allen develop his football personality.

Allen knows the history of the Buffalo Bills. He knows how much Jim Kelly meant to the franchise and the city itself. He knows there are lessons to be learned and he is here to learn them.

But today, December 1, 2024, the student has overtaken the teacher. The Buffalo Bills record books now actually belong to Josh Allen.
