One of the greatest players in Buffalo Bills and NFL history is O.J. Simpson, whose speed and agility made him a standout talent and a key figure in Bills lore. Known for his ability to find the end zone, Simpson held a franchise milestone that has now been matched by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/josh-allen">Josh Allen</a>.



Allen, now in his seventh season, has etched his name alongside <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oj-simpson">Simpson</a> in franchise history. With a rushing touchdown in Week 10 against the Colts, Allen tied Simpson’s record of 57 rushing touchdowns, a feat Simpson achieved during his nine-year tenure in Buffalo.



Allen’s achievement comes in just 103 games, an impressive mark given his position on the field. Few quarterbacks have reached such a milestone. For comparison, Tom Brady—widely regarded as one of the best QBs in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> history—recorded just 28 rushing touchdowns throughout his career.



Allen now inches closer to another Bills legend, Thurman Thomas, who holds the franchise record for rushing touchdowns with 65. Thomas, a cornerstone of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills">Bills</a>’ glory years, set the mark over two decades ago, but Allen is just eight scores away from overtaking him.

<h2>Allen gets closer to another milestone</h2>



Beyond team records, Allen is climbing the league’s all-time list for quarterback rushing touchdowns. With 57 scores, he sits second behind Cam Newton, who holds the NFL record with 75 rushing touchdowns.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-josh-allen-makes-something-clear-about-bills-additional-trades"></div>

 

 


Allen has already surpassed notable quarterbacks like Jalen Hurts, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, and Dak Prescott in this category, and he only needs to score 18 rushing touchdowns to reached that milestone.



<h2>Allen’s stats in history with the Bills </h2>



Allen’s contributions to the Bills’ current 7-2 record underscore his value to the team. His career numbers with Buffalo are equally impressive. In 103 games (with just one as a backup), Allen has thrown 184 passing touchdowns against 80 interceptions, completing 2,151 of 3,407 attempts for 24,704 yards. 



He’s also accounted for 1,203 first downs, solidifying his place as a cornerstone of the franchise. These stats are going to help the team ahead the challenges in the rest of the NFL regular season.

NFL and NBA Players Who Lost Millions and Went Broke After Retiring

To say that OJ Simpson was a controversial figure would be a massive understatement. A <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> and Buffalo <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-bills" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bills legend</a> as a player, his life off the field made him infamous in society.



His chase in the white Bronco and his trail have been talked about to exhaustion. And while most people seem to agree that the veredict wasn’t what it was supposed to be, he eventually walked free. 



Simpson eventually did time for a different crime, and he was pretty much the first celebrity to be ‘canceled’ in entertainment history. The reasons are well-known and not for us to debate right now.



<h2>Bills Don’t Commemorate OJ Simpson</h2>



That’s why, upon his passing, everybody kept an eye on any person or institution that had ties to the former running back. Some, like the Heisman trophy organization, released a statement, while others, like the Buffalo Bills, didn’t do a single thing to acknowledge his death.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240414_BUS_118860_O.J.-Simpson-1024x572_5e18247b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="" class="wp-image-19834" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/O.J.-Simpson-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/O.J.-Simpson-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/O.J.-Simpson-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/O.J.-Simpson.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></figure>



The Hall of Fame, on the other hand, flew their flag at half-staff. They also issued a statement about his football career. Needless to say, some people called them out for it, but Florio believes there wasn’t much that they could do:



“The Buffalo Bills did nothing to commemorate Simpson’s passing. The Pro Football Hall of Fame, in addition to issuing a lengthy statement that didn’t mention his murders, actually lowered its flag to half staff in honor of Simpson,” reported Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.



<h2>The Hall Of Fame Is In An ‘Odd Place,’ Claims Florio</h2>



“The Hall of Fame is a bit of an odd place, frankly. There doesn’t seem to be anyone who can make big decisions without running it by a committee where it would die until well after the moment for action passes. And the Hall of Fame’s convictions seemed to be rooted not in principles but in policies that remain rigid and inflexible, until they suddenly change for no apparent reason,” Florio added.



Florio argues that, on paper, there was no reason not to pay him homage, as they still have their bust and didn’t eject him from the Hall of Fame after all the accusations and his conviction, so why would they act any differently now?


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/oj-simpson-dead-the-theory-of-how-a-missed-play-by-the-buffalo-bills-gave-us-the-kardashians"></div>






Truth be told, it’s a complicated position, mostly because he was found innocent of what most people are fully convinced he did. Still, with USC, the Bills, and even the league as a whole chosing not to address the situation in any fashion, the Hall of Fame will face severe scrutiny for their decision.

Buffalo Bills, Hall of Fame make contrasting decisions after OJ Simpson's passing

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/buffalo-bills-t92955" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buffalo Bills </a>and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL </a>legend OJ Simpson <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/o-j-simpson-passed-away-what-happened-to-former-nfl-player" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has passed away</a>. It didn’t take long before the internet went into a frenzy, which was far from a surprise, all things considered.



For decades, Simpson was a subject of debate and a controversial figure in both the sports and entertainment worlds. In spite of his success as a football player and actor, he’s not precisely remembered because of that.



His controversial trial over the alleged murder of his wife is still one of the most talked-about events to this day. So, on the day of his passing, it became a trending topic all over the world again.



<h2>A Theory Blames The 1970 Buffalo Bills For The Kardashians</h2>



That’s why internet detectives brought a rather interesting theory back to life. As pointed out in a viral post dating back years, the 1970 Bills and OJ Simpson could be responsible for the Kardashian family’s fame:



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="700" height="877" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240411_BUS_118216_image-8_b92cfce7.webp&amp;width=700&amp;height=877" alt="" class="wp-image-118224" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-8.png 700w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/image-8-239x300.png 239w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px"></figure><figcaption>The OJ Simpson-Kim Kardashian theory</figcaption></figure>



“REMINDER: The Buffalo Bills barely lost a game in 1970 by missing on a bad pass for a touchdown. The loss allowed them to get the pick in the draft, where they took O.J. Simpson. O.J. lived in Buffalo where he met his wife Nicole and then allegedly killed her. He then hired Robert Kardashian to be his lawyer. They won the case, making the Kardashian’s somewhat famous. Then Kim drops the sex tape and becomes famous. So basically the 1970 Buffalo Bills are the reason we have to deal with the Kardashian’s today, because if they would have won that one game, they wouldn’t have had the pick they took O.J. with, so he would have never met Nicole, and thus never had the chance to kill her, preventing the entire Kardashian family from ever being even a sliver of a subject in modern culture. Damn you Buffalo Bills. Damn you,” read the post. 



The Kardashians are some of the wealthiest and most prominent figures in the entertainment world, and while they have a huge following, others are not so fond of them.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/oj-simpson-dead-the-records-of-the-most-infamous-athlete-of-all-time"></div>


And while there’s still a chance that they could’ve built their fame and wealth someway else, this history is quite interesting, to say the least, not to mention hilarious.

When it comes to infamous people and especially infamous athletes, there’s no one who tops OJ Simpson. Simpson has been on the wrong side of justice a couple of times, and while he managed to avoid jail for murder, he was later convicted for a different felony. Now that he’s out, there aren’t many people who want to take a picture with him. Then again, the former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL</a> star doesn’t seem to care about what people think and is constantly voicing his thoughts and making fun of his situation on social media.
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-73"> </div>
</div>
His antics were in full display a couple of days ago, as he took to Instagram and Twitter to give his insight and thoughts onone of the two things that he’s more familiar with: a legal procedure.
‘Juice’ shared some jokes about former President <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/donald-trump-t132193" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump’s</a> situation and his impeachment, claiming that he’s glad that there’s something to watch on TV now that the football season is over.
<h2>OJ Simpson Gives Donald Trump Some Legal Advice</h2>
Then, the former <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/buffalo-bills-t92955" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Buffalo Bill </a>shared some advice with Trump, saying that the reason why we haven’t heard of him lately is that, according to lawyers,he must remain silent if he has any kind of criminal liability:

<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-twitter" id="twitter-97">
<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
There’s no football to watch but at least we have the impeachment. <a href="https://t.co/CPA1rT4s0j">pic.twitter.com/CPA1rT4s0j</a>
 — O.J. Simpson (@TheRealOJ32) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRealOJ32/status/1359951945931268099?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 11, 2021</a> </blockquote></div>

</div>
“A couple of my friends asked me. Why haven’t we heard from Donald?’ I’ve had some of the best lawyers in the world. And the one thing they made clear to me, any time you have any criminal liability, you should just shut up and be quiet. And I assume because of that advice (…) has Donald doing what he should be doing,” he said.
While this may sound funny for some, it’s yet another evidence of Simpson mocking the legal system. At least, most people know what he did and will never forget or forgive his infamous situation.
