Throughout his career, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has drawn comparisons to former Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton. Those are justified, especially after he broke one of his records on Sunday.
Early in the fourth quarter of Buffalo’s 26-7 road win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, Allen plowed into the end zone for an eight-yard TD. It marked the 76th rushing TD of his career, breaking Newton’s record for the most rushing TDs by a QB in NFL history.
Newton ran for 75 TDs in 148 games in 11 seasons. Allen, meanwhile, reached his mark in 123 games. This feat further proves that the Bills standout deserves to be called “Newton 2.0.”
How Josh Allen, Cam Newton compare
Unlike Newton — who won the 2010 Heisman Trophy at Auburn — Allen was considered a raw prospect coming out of Wyoming. In three seasons with the Cowboys, he completed a subpar 56.2% of his passes.
