What happened: Allen has accounted for nine total touchdowns and at least four rushing scores over a five-day span, putting him alongside Ernie Nevers in a category only two players have reached. The same stretch has also been stacked against Deshaun Watson's eight total touchdowns across the last 1,041 days.

Why it matters: That puts Allen's start in historical-company terms instead of framing it as an ordinary hot streak. It also renews scrutiny on Watson, who is in the final year of his contract.

What to watch: Allen's next outing will test whether this pace keeps separating from the league's normal scoring curve. Watson's next game will show whether that long touchdown total starts moving again.
