Bills Star Josh Allen Targets Historic NFL Milestone - Joining Legends Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson

Bills' Josh Allen wins 1st career NFL MVP | Fox News

Orchard Park, NY — The lights of Highmark Stadium will burn a little brighter this Sunday night. The air will be heavier, the roar of the crowd a little sharper. Because when Josh Allen takes the field against the Baltimore Ravens, he isn’t just fighting for a win — he’s chasing immortality.

For seven seasons, Allen has been the storm that defenses could never contain. Eight rushing touchdowns as a rookie. Nine the year after. Fifteen just last season, when he turned the red zone into his personal kingdom. No quarterback in the history of this league has ever opened their career with such relentless ground dominance.

And now, here he stands: one more season with six or more rushing touchdowns, and Allen will carve his name into the granite of NFL legends. Only three men before him have managed such a streak — Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk, LaDainian Tomlinson. All running backs. All enshrined in Canton. For Allen to join them, as a quarterback, would be something the game has never seen.

“This isn’t about numbers. It’s about proving that Buffalo doesn’t just follow history — we write it,” a Bills teammate said this week, summing up the fire in the locker room.

Allen already owns 4,142 rushing yards and 65 touchdowns on the ground — a quarterback’s body carrying a running back’s soul. One more score, and he passes Bills icon Thurman Thomas for the franchise’s all-time rushing TD record. Ten more, and he ties Cam Newton’s all-time QB rushing record. These aren’t just milestones; they’re battle scars in a career built on grit, power, and refusal to be ordinary.

The Ravens know Allen too well. They watched him run through their defense for two touchdowns in last January’s Divisional Round. This time, Baltimore arrives weakened — missing fullback Patrick Ricard and tight end Isaiah Likely. Holes will be there. And Allen, with his eyes on the end zone, knows how to find them.

For Bills Mafia, this isn’t just Week 1. It’s the start of a season where history is in their quarterback’s hands. Allen’s rushing dominance, paired with nearly 200 career passing touchdowns, has already redefined what it means to play the position. But tonight, under the primetime lights, he could take his first step toward a record that will echo long after the final whistle.

Sunday. 8:20 PM ET. NBC, Peacock, NFL+. Highmark Stadium.
The Ravens will try to hold the line. But Buffalo believes their quarterback was born for moments like this.

Bills Mafia — history waits. Are you ready?

Packers Rookie Cut Before Season Retires to Join Military Service
The NFL is often described as the pinnacle of athletic dreams, but for one Green Bay rookie, the path to greatness has taken a turn away from the gridiron and toward a higher calling. After signing as an undrafted free agent in May, the young cornerback fought through training camp and preseason battles, hoping to carve out a roster spot on a Packers team recalibrating its depth and identity in the secondary. That player is Tyron Herring, a Delaware (via Dartmouth) standout known as a true outside corner with length, competitive toughness, and special-teams upside. Listed at 6’1”, 201 pounds with verified long speed, Herring built a reputation as a press-capable defender who thrives along the boundary.  Waived in late August, Herring stunned teammates and fans by announcing his retirement from professional football and his decision to enlist in the U.S. military, trading a Packers jersey for a soldier’s uniform. “I lived my NFL dream in Green Bay, but being cut before the season opened another path,” Herring said in a statement. “This isn’t the end — it’s a higher calling. Now, I choose to serve my country with the same heart I gave the Packers.” Prototypical on paper for Green Bay’s boundary profile and steady on tape throughout August, Herring nevertheless faced heavy competition in a crowded cornerback room. The numbers game won out as the Packers finalized their 53 and practice squad. For the Packers, the move closes the chapter on a developmental project with intriguing tools. For Herring, it begins a profound new journey that echoes his “hidden gem” label — a player who consistently rose above expectations and now seeks to do so in service to something bigger than the game. Fans across Wisconsin and the college football community saluted the decision on social media, calling it “the ultimate sacrifice” and “proof that heart is bigger than the game.” Herring leaves the NFL, but his next mission may prove even greater.
