Flagg the Wanderer
Mourning Algernon
I thought it might make sense to have a thread to memorialize amazing statlines or achievements that don't necessarily belong elsewhere.
One of the Little Wanderers has recently become fascinated with both football and statistics, and found a few that were interesting to kick it off.
Only 24 NFL QBs have more than 2 games with 5+ TD passes.
- 2 did it 9 times: Brady & Manning, natch.
But then that one guy...
Drew Brees has 11 games with 5 or more passing TDs.
He's also the only QB who has twice won games in which the opposing QB threw 5 or more TDs, beating Matt Ryan in 2018 and Eli Manning in 2015, a game in which Brees became the most recent NFL QB to tie the record of 7 TD passes in a game.

- Only 12 have more than 3.
- 3 did it 4 times: Stafford, Farve, & Warren Moon
- 3 did it 5 times: George Blanda, Wilson, & Rodgers (who is the only one of these 12 to have no interceptions in any of the 5+ TD games)
- 3 did it 6 times: Marino, Roethliaberger, & Mahomes (already!)
- 2 did it 9 times: Brady & Manning, natch.
