Buffalo Bills running back Karlos Williams tied an NFL record with his 26-yard touchdown catch from Tyrod Taylor on Thursday night.

It was the sixth straight game Williams has score a touchdown to begin his career, which matches the record set by former New England Patriots running back Robert Edwards in 1998.

Williams has seven touchdowns already on the season with five rushing touchdowns and two receiving scores.

The touchdown gave the Bills a 19-3 lead over the New York Jets. The lead was extended 22-3 after a Chris Ivory fumble led to a Dan Carpenter 29-yard field goal.

The Jets answered back with their first touchdown drive of the night capped by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick to Brandon Marshall to close the gap to 22-10 with just under five minutes remaining in the third quarter.
