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. Retrieved 10 July 2022.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.

Surpassed by AFL receivers in all three categories.ĪFL triple crown winner. Surpassed by AFL receivers in all three categories. Hutson achieved more than double the numbers of his nearest competitors in all three categories. NFL champions (before 1967) or Super Bowl champions (since 1967) Indicates the player has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame NFL and AFL receivers who have won the triple crown Table key The most recent triple crown winner was Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams, in 2021. Don Hutson of the Green Bay Packers is the only man to win more than one triple crown, having done so five times (1936, 1941–45). This includes one player ( Lance Alworth) who did so in the American Football League (AFL), the NFL having adopted AFL records when the two leagues merged in 1970. Since the NFL began keeping statistics in 1932, the triple crown has been won sixteen times by twelve different players. The term triple crown has been used to describe the feat at least as far back as 1990, when it was achieved by Jerry Rice. Finishing joint first in any or all of those three categories is also considered sufficient. 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.
