Josh Allen's 259th career touchdown pass moved him beyond Jim Kelly as Buffalo beat Baltimore 36–10 on 1 November 2026, according to the Buffalo Bills' game report. His pass found DJ Moore in the fourth quarter at Highmark Stadium, giving the franchise a new career leader in the category.
Moore supplies the record-breaking catch
Allen found Moore in the back of the end zone on the play that changed Buffalo's record book. The Bills' match report identifies the receiver and says the touchdown pass displaced Kelly from the top of the club's career list. Kelly was at the stadium to witness the milestone, according to the club's separate postgame analysis.
Moore had returned after a shoulder injury kept him out of the previous two games. His long catch helped Buffalo's offence find momentum after half-time, and his subsequent touchdown reception delivered Allen's record. The sequence made Moore's return central to both the score and the individual milestone.
Bills quarterback Josh Allen said, “I don't take that for granted,” when discussing his place with Buffalo. He credited the players who had helped him reach the mark. The acknowledgement followed a victory in which the quarterback also scored on a run during Buffalo's opening possession.
Buffalo's passing surge after half-time
SportsRivo checked the game report against Allen's official player log. The log records 289 passing yards and 2 touchdown passes against Baltimore on 1 November 2026, according to Buffalo Bills. Those totals confirm that the milestone pass was part of a productive passing game, rather than the only decisive play.
Buffalo's postgame analysis says Allen completed 13 of 15 second-half passes for 177 yards, while the Bills outscored Baltimore 20–3 after the break, according to Buffalo Bills on 1 November 2026. Baltimore's Lamar Jackson had left with a thumb injury on the Ravens' opening offensive snap. Replacement Tyler Huntley later exited with a toe injury, leaving emergency quarterback Joe Fagnano to finish the contest.
What the mark changes for Buffalo
- Allen now leads the Bills' career passing-touchdown list, with Kelly behind him. The club record belongs to a quarterback who is still adding to his total.
- Buffalo improved to 6–1 while Baltimore fell to 4–4, according to Buffalo Bills on 1 November 2026. The result also gave the Bills a win immediately after their bye.
- Moore's return restored a receiver who contributed the record-setting catch and a long gain after half-time. His role in the passing game was visible as Buffalo pulled away.
Minnesota are Buffalo's next opponent
Buffalo's game report lists a Monday night visit to the Minnesota Vikings as its next scheduled fixture. Allen will go into that match as the club's passing-touchdown leader, while Moore's return gives the Bills another active receiving option.
