According to DraftKings data reported by ESPN, Allen is the sole player in league history to have achieved 31 total touchdowns with one interception in any 12-game period which is a feat unmatched even by Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers or Jalen Hurts.
A streak that mixes passing, rushing and even receiving
Allen's record-breaking run started on December 1, 2024, in a 35-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, in which he passed for two touchdowns and rushed for another, as noted by Pro-Football-Reference.com. It lasted until September 18, 2025, with a 31-21 win over the Miami Dolphins when Allen recorded three passing touchdowns. Over this period, he accumulated 3,245 passing yards, a 115.3 passer rating, and only one interception that was thrown in a 24-21 win over the New England Patriots on December 22, 2024.
Allen differs from his predecessors by his unmatched versatility. According to NFL.com, his 31-touchdown count consisted of 19 passing touchdowns, 11 rushing touchdowns and even one receiving touchdown, demonstrating a dual-threat ability that modern defenses struggle to contain.
Outpacing Brady, Rodgers and Hurts
Tom Brady's 2010 MVP season previously held the record with 29 touchdowns (28 passing, 1 rushing) and a single interception from October 24, 2010, through January 16, 2011. Aaron Rodgers matched that record in 2021–22 with 29 total touchdowns (27 passing, 2 running), and Jalen Hurts produced 28 touchdowns (16 passing, 12 running) from October 2024 to January 2025, each with just one interception.
With a 3-0 start to the 2025 season and an average of 34 points per game, Allen extended his record-breaking run. His strength, accuracy and mobility serve as an example for a quarterback player and surpass the very legends whose records once seemed unbeatable.
