Note: The chart below mistakenly left out the Seattle Seahawks, who have scored ten offensive touchdowns this season.
This season, the Denver Broncos have scored an NFL-high 16 touchdowns, with 12 of them coming from quarterback Peyton Manning. Remarkably, Manning has scored more touchdowns than most of the NFL.
The Green Bay Packers are the closest behind Manning, scoring eleven offensive touchdowns. Both the Packers and Chicago Bears have scored 12 total touchdowns, though several of theirs have come on defense.
