Josh Allen
Buffalo Bills BUF · QB

1) Josh Allen

Earlier this season, Josh Allen became the 4th player in NFL history to rush for at least six touchdowns in each of their first eight career seasons – the others being a trio of Hall of Fame running backs in Jim Brown, Marshall Faulk and LaDainian Tomlinson. He leads all quarterbacks with 10 rushing touchdowns in 2025, trailing only Jonathan Taylor and Josh Jacobs among all players, and the reigning MVP enters Week 13 staring down the top of the quarterback rushing mountain.

Allen's 75 career rushing touchdowns are tied with Cam Newton for the most by a quarterback in the history of the league, one scamper to paydirt away from setting a new all-time mark in just his ninth season in the NFL.

It's not just Allen's legs, however, looking to run into the record books. He's tallied 28 offensive touchdowns – 18 through the air and 10 on the ground – and with two more touchdowns of any type, he'll reach the 30 mark for the sixth consecutive season. Drew Brees, who did so in nine consecutive seasons from 2008-16, is the only other player in NFL history to rack up 30 offensive touchdowns in at least six straight seasons.

But we're not done yet.

Just a single touchdown pass from Allen would break a tie with Hall of Famer Brett Favre's 213 for the fifth most ever by a player in their first eight seasons. Only Patrick Mahomes with 245, Hall of Famer Peyton Manning's 244, Hall of Famer Dan Marino's 241 and Russell Wilson with 227 have more.

A pair of passing touchdowns for the Bills signal caller would bring him to 20 on the season, which, when paired with his 10 scores on the ground – would make him the first player to ever throw for 20 touchdowns and run for 10 in three seasons.

Matthew Stafford
Los Angeles Rams LAR · QB
Davante Adams
Los Angeles Rams LAR · WR

2) Matthew Stafford (Davante Adams)

Matthew Stafford has nearly earned a place in sharpie on this weekly list as he closes in on becoming the oldest player in NFL history to win their first career MVP award. He leads the NFL with 30 touchdown passes and has thrown just a pair of interceptions in 2025. Patrick Mahomes – also with 30 touchdowns and two interceptions in 2020 – is the only other player ever to throw for at least 30 touchdowns with two or fewer interceptions through their team's first 11 games of a season.

Stafford has thrown for multiple touchdowns without an interception in each of his last five games, throwing for a trio of scores in four of those five games. With another multi-touchdown, no interception performance in Week 13, Stafford will join Tom Brady – nine straight games in his 2010 MVP season – and Aaron Rodgers – seven straight in his 2021 MVP season – as the only players to string together six such performances within a season in league history.

If one of those passes finds the hands of Davante Adams, he would make it a baker's dozen of receiving touchdowns in 2025 – the fourth such season of his career. Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (9), Terrell Owens (7) and Randy Moss (6) are the only other players all-time to rack up at least 13 touchdown catches in four or more seasons.

Jacoby Brissett
Arizona Cardinals ARI · QB
Trey McBride
Arizona Cardinals ARI · TE

3) Jacoby Brissett (Trey McBride)

Jacoby Brissett has been slinging the rock at an unprecedented rate over his last two games. He broke the NFL single-game record with 47 completions in Week 11, and with another 33 in Week 12, he joined Philip Rivers – who tallied 81 over two games in 2015 – as the only player ever with at least 80 completions in any two-game span.

Brissett only needs 25 completions in Week 13 to reach the top five for most completions in any three-game span. That would tie 2022 Tom Brady and 2010 Peyton Manning at 105 for the fourth most over three games. With 31 completions, Brissett would tie 2018 Kirk Cousins at 111 for third, and one more would match 2020 Dak Prescott with 112 (second). And to go for it all, 37 completions from Brissett in Week 13 would eclipse Rivers' NFL record of 116 completions over three games in 2015.

In that same matchup with the Buccaneers, Trey McBride continues his march toward tight end history. He's caught 19 of those historic 80 completions form Brissett over the last two games, extending his streak of games with at least five catches to 13 straight.

With another five snags in Week 13, he'll break a tie with Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez for the second longest such streak by a tight end in NFL history, leaving only Travis Kelce's streak of 15 games in 2018 left above him. The first of those five receptions would also bring McBride to 302 for his career, breaking a tie with Jimmy Graham for the most by a tight end in their first four seasons in NFL history.

Zach Ertz
Washington Commanders WAS · TE

4) Zach Ertz

Zach Ertz has cemented his legacy as one of the most productive tight ends in NFL history. He ranks in in the top 10 all-time in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns among tight ends. Ertz made three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2017-19 and won Super Bowl LII with the Eagles in 2017.

The Commanders tight ends needs just two receptions on Sunday Night Football to pass Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe's 815 for fifth most ever by a tight end. Only Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez, Jason Witten, Travis Kelce and Hall of Famer Antonio Gates have more catches in league history.

Drake Maye
New England Patriots NE · QB

5) Drake Maye

The Patriots and Drake Maye just won't stop winning.

New England was the first team to reach double-digit wins in 2025, boasting the league's best record at 10-2 as we enter Sunday's slate of games in Week 13. They've won each of their last nine games, the longest active winning streak in the league and the franchise's longest in over a decade.

Maye has posted a passer rating of at least 80.0 in each of those wins, and at just 23 years old, he is one of only three players to have a passer rating of 80.0 or better and a win in at least eight consecutive games in a season prior to turning 24 years old.

Maye already topped Lamar Jackson's streak of eight straight games in his 2019 MVP season. But this week, he can match Hall of Famer Dan Marino's record of 10 straight such games in his 1984 MVP season if he finished with such rating in a Patriots victory on Monday Night Football.
