Who has the most touchdown passes in NFL history?

We take a look at a list of the top five quarterbacks who have thrown the most touchdown passes in NFL history.

Update:
Who has the most touchdown passes in NFL history?

Earlier in December, Tom Brady found receiver Breshad Perriman for a game-winning touchdown to notch his 700th career passing TD (regular season and playoffs) for a thrilling overtime win against the Buffalo Bills.

Brady and the Buccaneers' offense moved the ball to just short of midfield, at which point Brady connected with wide receiver Perriman for a 58-yard walk-off touchdown to become the only member of the 700 Touchdown Club. Seven hundred touchdowns.

In the same game, the seven-time Super Bowl winner overtook Drew Brees for the most pass completions in NFL history.

Brady: Part of something pretty cool

"I don't know, man. I'm not sure," Brady said after the Buccs victory. "I don't think about those things. People kinda tell me they happen. That's pretty cool. I keep some jerseys and stuff like that. ... It's just amazing to have people share in all those great accomplishments, but obviously to me, I feel like they're all team awards anyway.

"Anyone that ever caught a touchdown pass, they're part of something pretty cool in NFL history, anyone that had a completion for that matter; and obviously the guys that came before me - Dan Marino, Peyton [Manning] and Drew, some other incredible players that I always looked up to. So it was a great moment."

QBs who have tossed the most touchdown passes in NFL history

  • 1. Tom Brady - 617 touchdown passes (not including playoffs)
  • 2. Drew Brees - 571
  • 3. Peyton Manning - 539
  • 4. Brett Favre - 508
  • 5. Aaron Rodgers - 445

Rodgers makes Packers history

Aaron Rodgers moved into the top spot in Packers history in Saturday's 24-22 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Rodgers' first-quarter touchdown pass to Allen Lazard pushed his career passing touchdown total to 443, surpassing the 442-touchdown record held by Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre. Rodgers added two more touchdown passes in the first half, to Davante Adams, to finish the game with 445 career TD strikes.

Rodgers ranks fifth in all-time touchdown passes in NFL history, and third in passing touchdowns thrown with one team, trailing behind Tom Brady (Patriots) and Drew Brees (Saints).

Rodgers spent his first three NFL seasons backing up Favre before taking over in 2008. Favre sent a message to Rodgers in a video that aired on the Lambeau Field scoreboard after the record-breaking touchdown pass.

"Hey, 12, congratulations, man, on passing my touchdown record," Favre said. "I have one request. Go get us another Super Bowl. Congrats."

"Definitely got me a little teary-eyed on the bench," said Rodgers, who saluted the Lambeau Field crowd that gave him a hearty ovation. "A moment I'll never forget, for sure. I'm thankful for Favre's message, for the response from the guys and the crowd obviously was really special."
