Bills QB Josh Allen makes history in win over Texans - Bills Wire

Josh Allen delivered a historic opening statement on the season Sunday, throwing two touchdown passes and rushing for two more as the Buffalo Bills earned a 36-31 win over the Houston Texans.

The four-touchdown performance gave Allen nine career games with at least two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns, moving him into sole possession of the NFL record.

Allen completed 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and engineered Buffalo’s decisive late drive. With 1:36 remaining, he found Joshua Palmer on a 34-yard touchdown pass to put the Bills ahead for good in a back-and-forth season opener.

He also made his mark with his legs, scoring twice on the ground in the affair. The rushing touchdowns came with the territory for Allen — a quarterback who has shown himself to be one of the league’s most difficult quarterbacks to contain when scrambling out of the pocket.

The victory was especially notable for Buffalo, which had gone 0-2 in its previous two road trips to Houston. Allen’s performance helped the Bills overcome a late deficit and begin the season with a hard-fought win.

For Allen, another major milestone is added to his resume. His blend of high-level passing production and physical running continues to set him apart from every quarterback who has come before him.
