From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Annual passing touchdown leaders in the National Football League (NFL) have been recorded since the inception of the NFL in 1932. Passing, along with running, is one of the two main methods in American football of advancing the ball down the field, and a touchdown pass is a pass thrown from a passer to a receiver that results in a touchdown being scored. In addition to the overall NFL passing touchdown leaders, league record books recognize the passing touchdown leaders of the American Football League, which operated from 1960 to 1969, and the All-America Football Conference, which operated from 1946 to 1949. Tom Brady has led the NFL in passing touchdowns five times, while the record for touchdown passes in a season is held by Peyton Manning (pictured), who had 55 passing touchdowns in the 2013 season. Only two other players, Brady and Patrick Mahomes, have recorded 50 or more passing touchdowns in a season. (Full list...)
