The Buffalo Bills entered Week 8 looking to improve to 5-2 against the Carolina Panthers, who arrived with a 4-3 record.
Josh Allen has delivered mixed results through seven games, throwing for 1,560 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding five rushing scores.
His dual-threat ability continues to place him among the league’s most dangerous quarterbacks, consistently producing numbers that few can match.
Allen’s impact on both phases of the offense has kept Buffalo competitive and reinforced his standing as an elite playmaker.
Allen etched his name deeper into NFL record books during Sunday’s dominant victory over Carolina.
He became the all-time leader in games with both a passing and rushing touchdown, reaching 46 such performances to surpass Cam Newton’s previous mark of 45.

The milestone carried added significance as it came against Newton’s former team, creating a moment that blended history with narrative symmetry.
Allen’s ability to reach the record while facing the Panthers added another layer to an already impressive achievement.
The record-breaking moment arrived midway through the third quarter when Allen connected with Khalil Shakir on a 54-yard touchdown pass.
That score extended Buffalo’s lead to 23 points and highlighted Allen’s big-play capability in crucial situations.
He had already rushed for a one-yard touchdown late in the second quarter before adding another rushing score in the third period.
That second rushing touchdown made him just the second quarterback in NFL history to reach 70 career rushing touchdowns, further cementing his dual-threat credentials.
Allen finished with efficient numbers, completing 12 of 19 passes for 163 yards and one touchdown while rushing three times for seven yards and two scores.
The performance keeps him firmly in the MVP discussion as Buffalo continues its push toward playoff positioning.
