In American football, rushing and passing are the two main methods of advancing the ball down the field. [2] A rush, also known as a running play, generally occurs when the quarterback hands or tosses the ball backwards to the running back, [3] but other players, such as the quarterback, can run with the ball. [2] A rushing touchdown is a play where the runner carries the ball into the end zone without a forward pass being involved. [4] [5]

The National Football League (NFL) did not begin keeping official records until the 1932 season. [6] [7] In addition to the NFL rushing touchdowns leaders, league record books recognize the rushing touchdowns leaders of the American Football League (AFL), which operated from 1960 to 1969 before being absorbed into the NFL in 1970. [8]

The record for rushing touchdowns in a season is held by LaDainian Tomlinson of the San Diego Chargers who rushed for 28 touchdowns in 2006. [1] Prior to Tomlinson's 2006 season, the record was jointly held by Priest Holmes and Shaun Alexander, each rushing for 27 touchdowns in 2003 and 2005, respectively. [1] [9] There have been eleven instances where a player has rushed for 20 or more touchdowns in a season and only two players, Emmitt Smith and Priest Holmes, have done so twice. [1] Jim Brown led the league in rushing touchdowns five times, the most of any player in league history. [10]
