In American football, passing, along with running (also referred to as rushing), is one of the two main methods of advancing the ball down the field. Passes are typically attempted by the quarterback, but any offensive player can attempt a pass provided they are behind the line of scrimmage. To qualify as a passing play, the ball must have initially moved forward after leaving the hands of the passer; if the ball initially moved laterally or backwards, the play would instead be considered a running play. In addition to the overall National Football League (NFL) receiving champion, league record books recognize the rushing champions of the American Football League (AFL), which operated from 1960 to 1969 before being absorbed into the National Football League in 1970.

  • In American football, passing, along with running (also referred to as rushing), is one of the two main methods of advancing the ball down the field. Passes are typically attempted by the quarterback, but any offensive player can attempt a pass provided they are behind the line of scrimmage. To qualify as a passing play, the ball must have initially moved forward after leaving the hands of the passer; if the ball initially moved laterally or backwards, the play would instead be considered a running play. In addition to the overall National Football League (NFL) receiving champion, league record books recognize the rushing champions of the American Football League (AFL), which operated from 1960 to 1969 before being absorbed into the National Football League in 1970. The NFL did not begin keeping official records until the 1932 season. Since the adoption of the 14-game season in 1961, only one season (the strike-shortened 1982 season) has had a receiving touchdowns league leader record fewer than 10 touchdown catches. The record for receiving touchdowns in a season is 23, set by Randy Moss during the 2007 season; only one other player (Jerry Rice) has recorded 20 or more receiving touchdowns in a season. Don Hutson led the league in receiving touchdowns nine times, the most of any player in league history; Jerry Rice ranks second with six league-leading seasons. Hutson also holds the record for the two longest streaks leading the league in receiving touchdowns, doing so for four consecutive seasons (1935 to 1938) and then doing it for five consecutive years from 1940 to 1944. The next longest streak is three seasons, accomplished by Rice from 1989 to 1991. The Green Bay Packers have had a player from their team lead the league in receiving touchdowns 15 times, the most of any team in the NFL; the San Francisco 49ers rank second with 12. (en)
  • La National Football League iniziò a tenere ufficialmente traccia della statistica sui touchdown su ricezione a partire dalla stagione 1932. Dall'espansione del calendario a 12 partite nel 1961, solo una stagione (quella accorciata per sciopero del 1982) ha avuto un leader con meno di dieci touchdown su ricezione. Il record stagionale è di 23, stabilito da Randy Moss nel 2007; solo un altro giocatore (Jerry Rice) ha segnato 20 o più touchdown su ricezione in una stagione. Don Hutson ha guidato la lega in touchdown su ricezione per nove volte, un record; Jerry Rice è al secondo posto con sei volte. Hutson detiene anche i record primato per le due maggiori strisce, quattro volte (1935-1938) e cinque volte (1940-1944). Segue Jerry Rice con tre vittorie consecutive dal 1989 al 1991. (it)
  • Au football américain, la passe est, avec la course, l'une des principales actions utilisées pour gagner du terrain. La liste des premiers joueurs en nombre de touchdowns à la réception sur une saison régulière de la NFL reprend, saison après saison, les meilleurs joueurs ayant réceptionné les passes venant de leur quarterback pour les transformer en touchdown (ceux inscrits lors des séries éliminatoires ne sont pas pris en compte). Généralement, ceux-ci jouent au poste de wide receiver mais certains ont évolué ou évoluent comme tight end ou running back. Don Hutson en est le recordman puisqu'il a été le meilleur de la ligue lors de neuf saisons. (fr)
