Allen Breaks Kelly's Record. Buffalo Breaks Baltimore.

Josh Allen passed Hall of Famer Jim Kelly for the most passing touchdowns in Bills franchise history on Sunday, doing it in a 36–10 win over Baltimore that doubled as the most dominant performance of Buffalo's season. The record fell in Week 8, with Allen now holding the all-time mark for career touchdown passes as a Bill, postseason included.

The backdrop made it cleaner than a typical milestone. Lamar Jackson left on Baltimore's first offensive series with a thumb injury and was ruled out, eventually headed to injured reserve. The Bills won by 26, their largest margin of the season. Allen finished the year at 1,615 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions through seven games, with another 8 rushing scores alongside 240 yards on the ground.

Buffalo is 6–1, on a three-game winning streak, and holding the AFC's top seed with a magic number of 9. The close-game record that defined last season's vulnerability — a 63% win rate in games decided by seven points or fewer, a gap that cost them a playoff round in Denver — has been replaced by a 4–0 mark in one-score games this year. The franchise record is a footnote to a season that is building into something more substantial.
