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. If the Raiders throw it deep more often, Carr will get it done.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. Carr has one of the highest deep pass completion percentage at 49%, which ranks him as the fifth-best deep throw quarterback as far as accuracy. It’s not that Carr can’t throw deep passes, the issue is he’s not getting the opportunity to do it.
The biggest issue I have with Carr not throwing deep passes is it’s holding the Raiders back. On the other hand, you have Patrick Mahomes, who is throwing 16 deep passes every 100 pass attempts. Think about that, for every 100 passes, only nine are thrown further than 20 yards. The craziest part of Carr throwing it deep is that he just doesn’t do it often.Ĭarr had the third-lowest deep percent attempts at 9.2%. He was also tied at 12 for the most deep pass interception at four. He was tied at 19 with only 5 deep touchdowns. When you look at Derek Carr, his deep passing wasn’t very impressive. Deep passes are considered plays of 20 yards or more.Ĭonsider this stat, the quarterbacks in the top-10 with the most deep pass touchdowns include Patrick Mahomes, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Baker Mayfield, Jared Goff, Tom Brady, Matt Ryan and Andrew Luck, some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. For example, Patrick Mahomes threw 15 of his 50 touchdowns and 1,514 of his 5,097 yards deep. One way a team can score quickly is by throwing it deep.
