Allen has a long way to go to catch Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre, who holds the all-time record for quarterbacks with 294 starts in a row (321 including the playoffs). For now, the Bills' plan worked to keep both the streak and Allen's body safe on Sunday.

"Josh Allen started Sunday's game vs. New England and played one play. He now has started 105 straight games, the longest active streak for any QB and more than double the next closest streak that belongs to Lions QB Jared Goff," Schefter said on X.
