Josh Allen's Unstoppable Run Against the Dolphins in Week 3

Josh Allen's Dominance Over the Miami Dolphins

Josh Allen has established himself as one of the most formidable quarterbacks in the NFL, particularly when it comes to facing the Miami Dolphins. The Buffalo Bills star has made a habit of defeating the Dolphins twice a year, and his latest victory on Thursday night was no different. In a 31-21 win, Allen threw for three touchdown passes, continuing a trend that has seen him dominate the Dolphins throughout his eight-year career.

Despite the Dolphins being a competitive team in the AFC East, Allen has consistently ensured that the Bills come out on top in their divisional matchups. His performance against Miami has been nothing short of impressive, with a career record of 14-2 against the team. This includes an impressive seven-game winning streak that began in December 2022.

A Look at Allen’s Record Against the Dolphins

Allen’s first matchup against the Dolphins came in December 2018, where he threw for 231 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 21-17 loss. However, since then, he has only suffered one more defeat, which occurred in September 2022 when the Dolphins narrowly won 21-19 thanks to a fourth-quarter score from Chase Edmonds. Even in that game, Allen put up strong numbers, recording 400 passing yards and two touchdowns.

Every other meeting between Allen and the Dolphins has resulted in a win for the Bills quarterback. This includes a playoff matchup, further solidifying his reputation as a reliable performer in high-stakes games. Allen is also 8-0 at home against the Dolphins, showcasing his ability to thrive in front of his own fans.

Career Stats Against the Dolphins

Allen’s stats against the Dolphins are impressive enough to be considered an MVP season over a full NFL slate. He has thrown for 4,302 yards, 43 touchdown passes, and completed 66.4% of his passes. Additionally, he has rushed for 672 yards and five touchdowns in those games. These numbers, spread across 16 games, highlight his all-around dominance.

In Thursday’s game, Allen reached another milestone by throwing his 200th career regular-season touchdown pass against the Dolphins. This achievement adds to his already impressive legacy against the team.

Breaking Patrick Mahomes’ Record

In addition to his success against the Dolphins, Allen made history during Thursday’s game by surpassing Patrick Mahomes as the youngest player to reach 300 career offensive touchdowns (passing and rushing). This feat was achieved on a quick-flip touchdown pass to Jackson Hawes in the second quarter.

Allen also matched Mahomes in another impressive stat—career games with three total touchdowns. With his 46th such game, he now shares this record with the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback since 2018. This accomplishment underscores Allen’s consistency and ability to perform at a high level in crucial moments.

Conclusion

Josh Allen’s record against the Miami Dolphins is a testament to his skill, determination, and leadership. From his impressive win-loss record to his standout statistics, he has proven time and again that he is one of the league’s premier quarterbacks. As he continues to build on his legacy, it’s clear that the Dolphins will have to find new ways to stop him if they hope to challenge the Bills in the AFC East.
