Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is on a tear. He’s tearing up the NFL record books in the process.
Allen has posted so many mind-boggling numbers over the last few weeks that it can make your brain hurt like you’re an opposing defensive coordinator.
In the past three games, Allen has 1,027 total yards, 14 total touchdowns, no turnovers and has not taken a sack. He’s tallied seven passing touchdowns, six rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown in that stretch.
Allen has led Buffalo to at least 30 points in eight straight games, tying the longest such streak in NFL history.
