Josh Allen aims to join elite club with historic touchdown feat against Eagles
Josh Allen finds himself on the brink of NFL history yet again. As the Buffalo Bills prepare to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, the quarterback has a unique opportunity to solidify his legacy further.
A Historic Opportunity
If Allen manages to throw for three touchdowns against the Eagles in Week 17, he would elevate his season total to 40. This milestone would mark the sixth time in his career that he has crossed the 40-touchdown threshold, putting him in an exclusive club alongside Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers, currently with the New York Jets, has accomplished this remarkable feat in six separate seasons—2011, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2020, and 2021. Allen, on the other hand, has hit the 40-touchdown mark in each of the last five seasons, making this upcoming game particularly significant.
Current Season Performance
As the season unfolds, Allen’s performance has been nothing short of impressive. Through the first 16 weeks, he has amassed 25 passing touchdowns and 12 rushing touchdowns, showcasing his versatility and ability to score from both the air and the ground.
This remarkable achievement not only underscores his talent but also emphasizes his critical role in the Bills’ offensive strategy. The team’s success heavily relies on his ability to find the end zone consistently.
Contextualizing Winning Percentages
Looking further into the statistics, the Bills have demonstrated formidable prowess at home, boasting a winning percentage of .851 from 2020 to 2025. This impressive record positions Buffalo at the top of the league, followed closely by Green Bay at .750 and Kansas City at .740. The Eagles, while competitive, are ranked lower at .656, illustrating the Bills’ home-field advantage heading into this crucial matchup.
As the Bills gear up for this pivotal game against the Eagles, all eyes will be on Josh Allen. With a chance to etch his name alongside one of the game’s greats, the stakes could not be higher. The potential for history looms large in this Week 17 showdown.
