![]() ![]() Flynn passed for a total of 17 touchdowns in his career.Īs you might expect, there are several quarterbacks on this list that had or are having excellent careers. Matt Flynn, in one of seven career starts, threw six touchdown passes against the Detroit Lions. In week 17 of the 2011 season, a game played on New Year’s Day of 2012, the Packers (with a record of 14-1) rested their starters. Possibly the most inconceivable is Matt Flynn, who spent most of his career as Aaron Rodgers backup for the Green Bay Packers. Some of the quarterbacks on this short list are players that a person wouldn’t really expect to see, such as Johnny Lujack or Joe Kapp, primarily because they had such short careers, playing only four seasons each. I should note that a few of these guys are still playing, so it is possible that a second game can be added to their resume. Of the 36 quarterbacks, 25 of them have just one 6+ TD game in their career. Īlthough there have been 49 games with six or more touchdown passes, this has been accomplished by just 36 different quarterbacks. Sammy Baugh then became the first quarterback to pass for six touchdowns per game twice in a career by having his second 6 TD game playing against the Chicago Cardinals on. As the QB of the Washington Redskins, Slingin’ Sammy threw six touchdowns against the Brooklyn Dodgers on Halloween. ![]() The first quarterback to pass for 6 touchdowns in one game is Sammy Baugh. What I have been able to dig up (with limited time and research resources), is that there have been 6 or more passing touchdowns thrown in a game exactly 49 times in the history of the National Football League. So in my opinion, with three home games left in the 2018 season, we need a three-peat performance and I believe a Thursday night primetime game, against the division rival Los Angeles Chargers, would be the perfect atmosphere for a third, six passing touchdown game. Both of these games were on the road, so it seems to me that Mahomes has been dissing the home fans a little bit here. In week two of this season, Patty threw six touchdown passes versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He eclipsed that touchdown total against the Raiders alone, in the process reinvigorating Philadelphia's hopes of being a legitimate playoff contender in the jumbled NFC East.Since we’re mostly through the bye week dealing with a mini withdrawal of Chiefs football, and since there is almost never anything written about Patrick Mahomes II, I thought I would touch on one or two little accomplishments he has managed in the first dozen games of his career as the starting quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs.Īs we all know or if you don’t know you are about to find out, Patty Mahomes threw six touchdown passes last Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams. Whatever went wrong before has been righted, though, and Foles is making a strong case for himself to be the franchise quarterback of the future.įoles entered the game with a 101.3 passer rating, six touchdown passes and zero interceptions on the 2013 season. That's especially so considering how the poor the Eagles offense had been in the previous two games. ![]() With Manning's multitude of offensive weapons and his pedigree, something that mind-boggling would seem more feasible than Foles' phenomenal performance. Kelly talked about Foles after the game (via Berman):ĭenver Broncos superstar Peyton Manning threw seven touchdowns of his own in a Week 1 victory over the defending Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens. On Tuesday Foles' gear was sent to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, according to the Eagles' Twitter feed:Īfter Philadelphia had scored just one touchdown combined in the previous two games, this eruption gives first-year head coach Chip Kelly serious substance with which to detract critics. Had Foles ever thrown seven TD's at any level of football? Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly provides the answer: ![]()
