Josh Allen ties Peyton Manning for most touchdowns in a quarterback’s first 10 seasons
The Buffalo Bills quarterback has tied Peyton Manning for the most combined touchdowns by a quarterback in his first 10 NFL seasons.
Key points
- MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - NOVEMBER 09: Josh Allen #17 of the Buffalo Bills looks to pass against the Minnesota Vikings during the first quarter of the game at U.S.
- He would need 21 more just to get past Manning’s mark, and with Allen still adding to his own total, that target is only going to get harder to reach.
- Manning played 160 regular-season games during his first 10 seasons.
With his first touchdown pass against the Minnesota Vikings, Allen brought his career total to 322, moving even to the 322 touchdowns Manning recorded during his first decade with the Indianapolis Colts.
Manning’s touchdowns came almost exclusively through the air, while Allen has been putting up numbers as both a passer and a runner since Buffalo drafted him in 2018.
Additional details
- Allen entered Week 9 of the 2026 season with just 135 games under his belt and tied Manning in his 136th game.
- ____________________________________ And with the rest of this season and all of 2027 still to play, Allen has plenty of time to add to that record before the final top number is set.
- Patrick Mahomes is the only other active quarterback who can still add to his first-10-season total.
- The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback is in his 10th season and finished Week 9 with 301 touchdowns.
