By the end of one of the craziest games the Buffalo Bills had ever played, Josh Allen's historic accomplishment felt like a footnote.
But really, it's worth remembering just what the Bills' QB accomplished in the second half.
When he ran in for a touchdown, he broke a franchise record. Then he added a second rushing TD a bit later to expand the mark and work on his path toward crushing the previous record.
Thurman Thomas held the Bills' rushing TD record for a few decades. Thomas finished his career with 65 rushing touchdowns in the regular season.
Allen entered Sunday night with 65. He ended it with 67, all alone atop the Buffalo history books.

Both TDs were crucial as the Bills came down from multiple scores on multiple occasions in an unbelievable comeback to end up beating the Ravens, 41-40.
Allen's record is also a great example of how football has changed since Thomas played.
Thomas was the tailback mostly for Jim Kelly, and Kelly was a classic passer, the kind of QB that existed for a long time.
Allen, and his Sunday counterpart Lamar Jackson, are the new age. They run as well as they throw.

The sizable Allen can be a battering ram, or he can turn on the afterburners. He embraces contact. And he wants to get in the end zone by any means necessary.
He's now done that more than anyone else's legs in Bills history. And he's still got a long way to go.
