These are the Buffalo Bills likely to break the NFL record for most players to catch a touchdown in a single season.
Entering this season, the Buffalo Bills had great depth on this offense, specifically at the wide receiver position. However, with the maturation of Josh Allen, his command of this offense, and his ability to distribute the football, the Bills tied an NFL record on Saturday against the Denver Broncos.
In the second quarter, Josh Allen found Jake Kumerow, who has been on the practice squad for most of the season, for a touchdown. The former Green Bay Packer wide receiver became the 13th player to catch a touchdown this season, which tied the NFL record for most players to catch a touchdown in a season.

While there are the expected players like Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley to join this group, there have been some unlikely players to catch touchdowns this season like Lee Smith, who has nine career touchdown receptions in 10 seasons, T.J. Yeldon, who has played only 42 offensive snaps all season, and even Josh Allen has caught one this year.
The Buffalo Bills now have two more games to break the record but their options for the 14th player are somewhat limited. These are the players left who could break the NFL record.
