Tom Brady threw 88 touchdown passes in the playoffs in his career, so many that there\u2019s not even a close second. But there is a close race for second.<\/p>\n
Currently, Patrick Mahomes has the second-most touchdown passes in the playoffs in NFL history, with 46. But Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could move ahead of Mahomes on Monday night.<\/p>\n
Rodgers has thrown 45 touchdown passes in the playoffs tied for third all-time with Joe Montana. If Rodgers throws one touchdown against the Texans he\u2019ll tie Mahomes, and if he throws two he\u2019ll move ahead of Mahomes. If the Steelers win and Rodgers\u2019 playoff run continues, he has a chance to move well ahead of Mahomes on the all-time playoff touchdown list.<\/p>\n
Given that Rodgers is 42 years old and Mahomes is 30, by the time they\u2019re both retired Mahomes is likely to have far more playoff touchdown passes than Rodgers has. And Mahomes might even have a chance of threatening Brady\u2019s record.<\/p>\n
But this year, while Mahomes is at home recovering from knee surgery and Rodgers is in the playoffs, may be Rodgers\u2019 chance to move ahead of Mahomes, and second only to Brady, on the career playoff touchdown pass list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tom Brady threw 88 touchdown passes in the playoffs in his career, so many that there\u2019s not even…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":501817,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-501816","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115860677785334371","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501816","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501816"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501816\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501816"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501816"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501816"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
