Josh Allen is chasing a number that once felt out of reach. The YouTube sit down with Mark Sanchez walks through his mix of patience and violence, and the play that popped against the Saints. The clip shows a third and 4 scramble where he crossed over Pete Werner, then iced the game with a strike to Dalton Kincaid on the next snap. Allen shrugs at the attention. “I do not really follow my stats like that.” That is the tone of the video. As of Oct 5, 2025 he sits on 68 rushing touchdowns in 115 games, which is 7 shy of Cam Newton’s 75 in 148 games.
Why the Record Chase Is Defined by Speed and Trust
The record is real, and the pace is wild. Cam Newton holds the mark for most quarterback rushing touchdowns with 75. Allen is closing faster, with 68 in 115 games. That means fewer games to reach the same line. It also means Buffalo trusts him at the goal line, in short yard spots, and when a drive needs a spark. The Saints win was a clear case. He ripped a 27 yard run on third and 4, then hit Kincaid for a 28 yard touchdown. One play with the legs. One play with the arm. That is the full picture.
What makes Allen different is how often he beats a perfect call. A spy in the middle. A contain rusher outside. He still breaks the plan with a jab step and a burst. The Bills use that wisely. They do not live on designed runs, but the threat is always present. The video shows it. The quotes confirm it. He can sit in structure, then destroy the angles if the pocket loosens. That is why this chase feels steady, not forced.
I do not really follow my stats like that
Josh Allen, on NFL on FOX Rearview after the Saints game.
Late in the fourth quarter against New Orleans, the game tightened. Allen answered with that crossover on Pete Werner. He said he felt a little squirrelly in the moment, then admitted a pass to Kincaid was there. He ran anyway, trusted the legs, and the stadium tilted. The Bills finished the job one snap later. The run and the honesty match the larger story. He is the league MVP from 2024, and also a star who keeps saying the only thing that matters is winning.
The numbers frame the legacy. Newton set the bar at 75. Allen is within a season of setting a new one if health holds. The split by games makes it louder. Newton needed 148. Allen is at 115 and counting. He is not talking about it much, but the tape does the talking. The Saints game offered a clean proof. A must have run. A calm throw. Then a quiet walk to the sideline. The record is close, and the style is already stamped.
