BREAKING: Bills QB Josh Allen Makes NFL History Against Chiefs
Josh Allen accomplished another historic feat with his touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at Highmark Stadium on Sunday. Allen’s famous duels with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes in recent years made their 10th career meeting a must-watch for NFL fans in Week 9.
The Bills have won four straight regular-season meetings against their AFC rivals, but Mahomes holds a 4-0 record head-to-head against Allen in the playoffs and a 3-0 advantage in Super Bowl rings.
The Chiefs-Bills rivalry does not just include two of the best gunslingers of the current era. With his rushing touchdown with 1:33 left in the second quarter, Allen became one of the most accomplished quarterbacks of all time.
It was the 78th rushing touchdown of Allen’s career, including the playoffs. He is now has the most by a quarterback in NFL history, passing Cam Newton’s mark of 77 career rushing touchdowns that Allen tied in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers.
He also broke a tie with Newton for the most games in NFL history with a passing and rushing touchdown, notching his 47th against the Chiefs.
It happened to be Allen’s sixth rushing TD of the season, making him the first quarterback to acheive that feat in each of his first eight seasons in the NFL, according to Bills PR. The only other players who have done so were an elite group of running backs: Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk and LaDanian Tomlinson.
Allen has put his name among the best rushers in Bills history as well. His 70 regular season rushing TDs rank first in team history. The brusing QB entered the game against the Chiefs needing just 43 yards to reach the fourth-most rushing yards in franchise history.
With two touchdowns of any variety, Allen (279) also had the chance to pass Mahomes (280) for second-most total touchdowns by a player before age 30, per Bills PR. Peyton Manning ranks first with 288.
For Allen, the ultimate goal has always been and will continue to be winning the franchise’s first Super Bowl title. Last season when he won NFL MVP, his speech about the individual honor was simply, “Be good. Do good. God bless and go Bills.”
Many people, Allen included, will feel that he needs a Lombardi Trophy to be recognized as one of the best quarterbacks of all time. If he does eventually make that breakthrough, he will already have the historic numbers to back it up.
Cowboys Willing to Trade Ex-First Round Pick Before Deadline: Insider
The NFL trade deadline is only a couple days away, with the buzzer sounding on Tues. Nov. 4. As the deadline approaches, the Dallas Cowboys seem to be as aggressive as any team in the league, with the America’s Team intent on upgrading its squad on the defensive side of the football.
Even though the Cowboys have one of the best offenses in the NFL right now, with star quarterback Dak Prescott having one of the best seasons of his career, the team hasn’t been able to recover defensively since trading superstar linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before Week 1.
That said, the Cowboys have been scouring the league looking for defensive upgrades, with the team seemingly willing to trade a former first-round draft pick.
Cowboys Willing to Trade Defensive Tackle Mazi Smith
The Cowboys’ efforts to make trade and improve defensively have fallen flat. However, that could change over ahead of the NFL trade deadline, as the team is reportedly willing to make defensive tackle Mazi Smith, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The Dallas Cowboys have been in just about every trade article known to man, and this one is no exception. While they might not pull off another blockbuster like when they dealt Micah Parsons at the end of August, they are in the market for a pass rusher, sources say. Arden Key, the Dolphins’ Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb, and the Raiders’ Malcolm Koonce are among the edge rushers who could be traded. Dallas also appears to be open to trading 2023 first-round DT Mazi Smith, who has only played in five games this season.
It remains to be seen whether any teams bite on trade offers from the Cowboys, but they might get teams a bit more intrigued with the willingness to add a promising young player, even if it is a player from the defense that they are trying to improve.
Will Cowboys Make a Move Ahead of the NFL Trade Deadline?

There seems to be no shortage of notable defensive players around the NFL that could be available ahead of the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 4. The Cowboys are fully aware of this and are doing everything in their power to acquire a potential game-changer for their defense to help make a playoff run during the second half of the 2025 campaign.
The real question is whether any of these potential defensive game-changers will be traded ahead of Tuesday’s deadline and which player will the Cowboys have the opportunity to get their hands on.
Among the players mentioned frequently ahead of the NFL trade deadline are Trey Hendrickson (Cincinnati Bengals), Bradley Chubb (Miami Dolphins), Malcolm Koonce (Las Vegas Raiders) and Jaelen Phillips (Miami Dolphins). There’s a chance that one of these players could be Dallas bound before the buzzer sounds on the deadline.
Las Vegas Raiders superstar defensive end Maxx Crosby has also been a trade target for the Cowboys, Las Vegas has been adamant about keeping him.
