The Buffalo Bills have one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL as Josh Allen has been providing excitement for the team. He is closing in on a personal milestone that he has the chance of getting in Week 5 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Allen currently has 147 regular season touchdown passes and is three shy of getting to 150 for his career.
He has 22 career games with at least three passing touchdowns, including two this season, so we have the potential of witnessing him reach this number. On the season, Allen has nine touchdown passes and has found his groove after struggling in Week 1.
The 27-year-old quarterback currently is tied with Russell Wilson and Tua Tagovailoa for third in touchdown passes on the season. With a strong wide receiving core, led by Stefon Diggs, the opportunities to throw the ball deep and have it be completed are definitely there.
Where does Josh Allen rank in terms of all-time passing touchdowns?
Heading into Week 5, Josh Allen is tied with Steve Beuerlein for 99th in NFL history with 147 passing touchdowns. However, he is closing in on some notable names as he would pass Daunte Culpepper when he gets to the 150 mark.
The next-closest in terms of active players is Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who is currently tied for 82nd with 161. Currently, there are 10 active quarterbacks with more touchdown passes than the 2017 first-round draft pick.
Allen has been dominating as the quarterback as he has thrown touchdowns to 26 different receivers throughout his career. Stefon Diggs leads the group with 33 touchdown grabs followed by Dawson Knox and Gabriel Davis with 21 each.
He has feasted in the division as he has 31 touchdown passes against the Miami Dolphins and 16 against the New England Patriots. However, he has another team before the New York Jets as he reached 11 touchdown passes against the Tennessee Titans.
How high on the all-time passing touchdowns list can Josh Allen climb?
Predicting anyone to get to the number of Tom Brady’s 649 career touchdown passes is insane and feels like too high of a bar for Josh Allen. However, it is not too much further down he will end his career on. If we project him to play another 10 years with the same exact stats and games played, he would reach 441 touchdown passes.
That number is currently good for sixth in NFL history. However, with the active quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott, it is likely that he will be a few spots lower. As it stands, Eli Manning is 10th all-time with 366 career touchdown passes. If Allen has nine seasons where he throws for 25 touchdowns per season, he eclipses Manning’s total.
Expect Josh Allen to be top 10 when his career is all set and done.
