NFL Research offers the best nuggets from each week of games in the NFL. Here are the most eye-popping statistical accomplishments from Week 14 of the 2023 NFL season.
1) Allen's two-TD day ties Murray's mark
Josh Allen and the Bills secured a crucial victory over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium -- keeping Buffalo's playoff hopes alive in a crowded AFC wild-card cluster.
While not his most efficient outing, Allen still scored touchdowns with his arm and legs -- for the ninth time this season, to be exact.
Allen's nine games with a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown are tied for the most in a single season all time (Kyler Murray, 2020).
Allen now has 25 passing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns on the season, joining Murray (2020) and Cam Newton (2015) as the only players in NFL history to reach both of those marks in a single season.
This is the first season in Allen's career with double-digit rushing touchdowns.
2) Tylan Wallace records just fourth OT punt return TD in NFL history
The Rams-Ravens Week 14 matchup proved to be an exciting, back-and-forth affair that went to overtime. After each team took turns going three-and-out, Ravens backup punt returner Tylan Wallace called game -- making a 76-yard house call to give the Ravens a 37-31 win.
Wallace's score was just the fourth via an overtime punt return in NFL history -- but the second this season. Hard Knocks hero Xavier Gipson gave the Jets a win over the Bills in Week 1 via a 65-yard return.
Prior to this season the only players with a punt return touchdown in overtime were Patrick Peterson in 2011 against the Rams and Chiefs return specialist Tamarick Vanover in 1995 against the Chargers.
