• NFL PASSING TOUCHDOWN LEADERS UPDATE

NFL Super Bowl LVII Preview: Chiefs vs.In the National Football League (NFL) a receiver is said to have won the triple crown if they lead the league in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns within a particular season.There is no denying that longevity plays a huge part in career records.

With Brady at 79,204 yards in 301 games, this expects to be another table of mine that he’ll screw up by making me add another column as he surpasses 80k in over 300 games. It just seems unlikely that he’ll play long enough to take all of them.Īgain, Brees is expected to be finished at 80,358 yards in 287 games. Stafford may possibly be done in Detroit, but once he goes to another team he’ll still be able to keep taking spots from Brees. Stafford just recently took out the little four-game blip that Matt Ryan had taken from Drew Brees before Brees took over for good. Mahomes’ lead on Matthew Stafford is actually not that substantial, but he has a good shot to start erasing the beginning of Stafford’s high-volume run. Mahomes has now wiped out all of the old Kurt Warner entries. So we have Cam Newton for six games before Mahomes takes over. Now let’s look at the table for passing yardage leaders, which does not feature as many names as the touchdown pass table. With one more start in 2021, Brady will be the first QB in NFL history to start 300 regular season games. It took Brady an additional 12 games to surpass Brees with 573 touchdowns in his 299th game. He plans to retire after this postseason. If reports are accurate, Brees’ regular season career is over at 287 games. Still, the main takeaway is that he has a shot to take over much of this table. But projecting out that far with a quarterback who has had multiple collarbone fractures and recent down seasons is tricky. If he were to average 2.2 touchdowns per start, that would put him at 562 touchdowns through 265 games, easily topping the current mark of 539 by Manning. If he played four complete 17-game seasons, that would take him to 265 games through his age-41 season. Whether he can wipe out Brees and Peyton Manning depends on how long Rodgers wants to play. Rodgers is currently 12 games ahead of Brees’ pace. Of course, that may not matter as much if it means the Chiefs are going to end up resting Mahomes again late in the season with the top seed wrapped up.Īfter a career-high 48 touchdown passes this season, Aaron Rodgers has picked up the pace and is currently wiping out a lot of Drew Brees entries.

Mahomes would have to throw 43 touchdowns in his next 17 games to wipe Marino’s prime out entirely.Ĭontrary to what happened in 2020, I don’t think 40 touchdown pass seasons grow on trees, though there is a good chance of a 17-game season in 2021. Marino’s prime for throwing touchdowns lasted 63 games, so there is a chance he could still hang onto a spot here. Problem is Mahomes has only played 46 games. Patrick Mahomes is currently tied with Marino for the most touchdown passes (114) through 50 games in NFL history. I’m rooting for someone to soon start super hot and throw 16 to clean that cell up a little.ĭan Marino’s days of having a whole column (51-100) to himself are numbered. Take note of Justin Herbert sneaking in there to make it four quarterbacks with 15 touchdown passes through six games. But Brees still makes 48 appearances on the list compared to just three for Brady, who did not surpass him until Game #299.
