LARAMIE — It seems to be a weekly occurrence, but former University of Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen accomplished another first in NFL history Monday night.
Allen became the first player in league history to pass for at least 200 yards on fewer than 20 attempts while rushing for at least 100 yards on 10 or fewer carries.
Allen completed 12 of 19 passes for 210 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Buffalo’s 37-34 overtime victory at the Los Angeles Rams. He also rushed 10 times for 121 yards and a touchdown.
Through five games, Allen has completed 94 of 141 passes for 1,247 yards, seven touchdowns and four interceptions. He also has 239 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 43 carries for the 4-1 Bills.
