NFL stats and records, Week 13: Bills QB Josh Allen continues to break records

Copied!

NFL Research spotlights the best nuggets from each slate of games. Here are the most eye-popping statistical accomplishments from Week 13 of the 2025 season.

Josh Allen has a strong case for being the best dual-threat quarterback in NFL history. To be precise, he has at least 76 reasons to make that case — those being his 76 career rushing touchdowns, the most by any quarterback in NFL history. Allen surpassed Cam Newton (75) for that record in Buffalo’s Week 13 win at Pittsburgh, scoring on a beastly run that looked like many tallied by the 2015 MVP.

Allen has now accounted for 30 offensive touchdowns this season: 19 passing, 11 rushing. It is his sixth consecutive season with at least 30 total TDs, breaking a tie with Peyton Manning, Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers for the second-longest streak in NFL history. Only Drew Brees’ nine such seasons are ahead of Allen’s current streak.

Since his rookie season in 2018, Allen is second among all players with 76 rushing touchdowns (only Derrick Henry has more). In 2025, he is tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns behind Jonathan Taylor‘s 15 (Allen and Josh Jacobs each have 11). Of Allen’s 11 scores on the ground, a league-high five have come on third or fourth down. Hailing from a draft class that provided the NFL with a pair of multi-time Pro Bowlers in Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb, Allen has over 20 more ground scores than any of his draftmates.

Now for the other part of the dual-threat milestones. Allen’s third-quarter touchdown toss to Keon Coleman was the 214th of his career, breaking a tie with Favre for the fifth-most passing touchdowns by any player in his first eight career seasons. Only Patrick Mahomes, Peyton Manning, Dan Marino and Russell Wilson had more.

Having missed 13 games due to injury in 2024, Christian McCaffrey leads the NFL with 1,655 scrimmage yards in 2025. No player in league history has finished first in scrimmage yards after missing at least 13 games in the previous season.

For McCaffrey, it is the fifth season in his career with at least 1,600 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns, making him the fourth player in NFL history to have five such seasons prior to turning 30 years old. He joined former NFL MVPs LaDainian Tomlinson, Shaun Alexander and Barry Sanders.

This is the third season of McCaffrey’s career with at least 800 rushing yards and 800 receiving yards, which ties Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk for the most such seasons in an entire career. Only six other players in NFL history have enjoyed a single season with at least 800 yards rushing and receiving.

McCaffrey is on pace to become the fourth player in the Super Bowl era to lead the NFL in scrimmage yards three different times — joining Hall of Famers Thurman Thomas, Eric Dickerson and O.J. Simpson.
