    Josh Allen becomes second quarterback in NFL history to put together historic stat-line

    By Jarrett Bailey,

    The Buffalo Bills overcame a 17-3 deficit against the Arizona Cardinals to start the season 1-0 with a 34-28 win.

    Buffalo had four touchdowns on the day, all of which Josh Allen contributed to in some way, shape, or form.

    Allen ran for two scores and threw two more to lift Buffalo over the Cardinals, and in the process tied Steve Young for the most games with two passing touchdowns and two rushing touchdowns with four.

    On the day, Allen went 18-of-23 for 232 yards and two touchdowns and added 71 yards on the ground with the aforementioned two scores. With that, Allen becomes just the second quarterback in NFL history to complete 78 percent of his passes with at least 230 yards passing, 35 yards rushing, and two scores through the air and on the ground. The only other quarterback to ever have such a stat-line was Steve McNair in 2001 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

    No. 17 continues to find new ways to amaze everyone on a weekly basis. He and the Bills will travel to Miami on Thursday to take on the Dolphins in Week 2.
