Though NFL offenses have emphasized the passing game in recent years, players putting up big numbers through the air isn't new. The NFL record for most passing touchdowns in a game is seven, a mark achieved by eight quarterbacks over more than seven decades.

Chicago Bears' Sid Luckman was the first to accomplish the feat in 1943. The most recent signal-caller to tie the record is Drew Brees. The two-time NFL Offensive Player of the Year and MVP of Super Bowl XLIV tossed seven touchdowns in a win for the New Orleans Saints in 2015. Coincidentally, both historic performances came against the New York Giants.
