LARAMIE — During Week 16, Josh Allen made history.
The former Wyoming quarterback became the only player in NFL history to have four straight seasons with at least 40 total touchdowns.
Allen ended with one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns to lead the Buffalo Bills to a 24-22 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Friday night.

The Bills (9-6) have won four of their last five games and are still in contention for the AFC East title.
Allen was able to drive Buffalo down the field, setting up Tyler Bass’ game-winning field goal, as the Bills (5-10) defeated the Chargers (5-10), who fired head coach Brandon Staley and general manager Tom Telesco and were missing star quarterback Justin Herbert.
“It’s difficult because playing a team with nothing to lose is a dangerous team.” “We gutted it out and found a way,” Allen said after completing 15 of 21 passes for 237 yards and an interception. “These are our playoffs. It didn’t matter how we did it, just that we did it.”
Allen has the most overall touchdowns in the NFL with 40 (27 passing, 13 rushing).
Craig Bohl’s imprint at Wyoming will live on long beyond his final ride with the Cowboys.
