Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has added another milestone to his career — one that even Patrick Mahomes couldn’t hold on to. In the Bills’ 31-21 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 of the 2025 season, Allen became the fastest player in NFL history to record 300 total offensive touchdowns (passing, rushing, and receiving combined).
How Allen Broke the Record
Allen entered the game against Miami sitting just one touchdown shy of the 300 mark. He went on to throw three touchdown passes, pushing him beyond the milestone and surpassing Mahomes in the process.
- Josh Allen: 300 TDs in 127 career games (regular season + playoffs).
- Patrick Mahomes: Previously held the record with 300 TDs in 128 career games.
This accomplishment highlights Allen’s unique ability as a dual-threat quarterback, consistently making plays with both his arm and legs.
Josh Allen vs. Patrick Mahomes: Fastest to 300 Total TDs
Fastest QBs to 300 Total Touchdowns (Regular Season + Playoffs)
| Quarterback | Games Played | Passing TDs | Rushing TDs | Total TDs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Josh Allen | 127 | ~235 | ~65 | 300 |
| Patrick Mahomes | 128 | ~270 | ~30 | 300 |
Why This Record Matters
Both Allen and Mahomes have defined this NFL era, but this stat underscores Allen’s versatility. While Mahomes is widely regarded as the league’s premier passer, Allen’s ability to score both through the air and on the ground allowed him to hit the milestone faster.
- Mahomes: Dominates primarily as a passer.
- Allen: Brings a balanced dual-threat dimension, making him harder to defend in short-yardage and red-zone situations.
Reaction Around the NFL
- Bills head coach Sean McDermott praised Allen’s consistency and leadership, calling him “the ultimate competitor who can impact the game in every way.”
- Analysts highlighted that this record will fuel the ongoing Allen vs. Mahomes debate, especially with both quarterbacks in their prime.
- Fans pointed out how Allen has quietly closed the gap with Mahomes in terms of career achievements, despite Kansas City’s Super Bowl success.
What’s Next for Josh Allen
Breaking Mahomes’ record is a historic feat, but Allen’s journey is far from over. If he maintains his current pace, he could eventually challenge for all-time records in both passing and combined touchdowns.
More importantly, the Bills’ Week 3 victory improved their standing in the AFC East, showing that Buffalo is once again a legitimate contender. For Allen, surpassing Mahomes in this milestone may be a sign that his legacy is only just beginning.
Final Thoughts
Josh Allen’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable. By surpassing Patrick Mahomes as the fastest quarterback to 300 total offensive touchdowns, Allen has cemented his place among the NFL’s elite.
The Allen vs. Mahomes debate will continue for years, but this record proves one thing: Allen’s combination of arm strength, athleticism, and scoring ability puts him in a category all his own.
