The Buffalo Bills quarterback threw for 342 yards and three touchdowns in a high-scoring affair against the Los Angeles Rams. He added another 82 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.
According to CBS Sports Research, Allen and Vick are the only players in NFL history to have more than 300 passing yards, three or more passing touchdowns, more than 50 rushing yards, and two or more rushing touchdowns in a single game.
Allen's third rushing touchdown put him in another elite category. He became the first player in NFL history to register three pass touchdowns and three rush touchdowns in a single game.

Allen also broke Jim Kelly's franchise record for the most 300-yard passing games (29). Sunday marked Allen's 30th 300-yard passing game as a member of the Bills. He scored his 60th rushing touchdown and joined Cam Newton (75) as the only quarterbacks with at least 60 rushing touchdowns.
Vick achieved this feat during the 2010 season when he was the quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. He and the Eagles faced off with the then-Washington Redskins on Nov. 15, 2010. It didn't matter that Vick was in enemy territory; he put on a show.
The veteran quarterback threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns against the NFC East team. He rushed 80 yards and two touchdowns as the Eagles won 59-28.
Fourteen years later, Allen accounted for six touchdowns of his own as the Bills and Rams combined for a season-high 86 points.
Unfortunately for Allen, the historic performance did not lead to a win. He and the Bills offense accounted for 42 points during the visit to SoFi Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Meanwhile, the Bills defense gave up 44 points to Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense.
The Rams' seven-game winning streak came to an end in Los Angeles. The AFC East team fell to 10-3 as the Rams moved to 7-6.
