The Buffalo Bills are going all out for a very new statistic that shows just how important the team is. At the current moment, the Bills are tied with 13 different players who have scored a receiving touchdown. That means that one more touchdown by a player who has yet to catch one will give the Bills the NFL record with 14 different players.

Josh Allen, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel, Tyrell Shavers, James Cook, Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, Dawson Knox, Dalton Kincaid, and Quintin Morris have caught touchdowns so far for the Bills.

The team could use a few different players to break this NFL record. One might be to call up Frank Gore Jr. and have Mitchell Trubisky hit him on a quick flat pass toward the goal line. They can also use Reggie Gilliam down here as well. Making those two the most likely options.

Another option would be to use their tackle eligible 6th offensive lineman, Alec Anderson (or a different OL player) down in the red zone.

The final option would be to call up KJ Hamler from the practice squad, who still has two elevations remaining. Jalen Virgil (max of 3 elevations used) and Zach Davidson, have used their maximum elevations and it's not very likely the Bills will make a roster move for either.

No matter what, it does seem the Bills will break this team record with one of the remaining options.
