The 'Most passing TD's in 1st 25 starts' quiz

Just one season after finishing 4-13 and firing Jerod Mayo as head coach after a single campaign, the New England Patriots are the first team in the NFL with 11 wins. One reason for the jump has been improvement in second-year quarterback Drake Maye. 

Maye had another ho-hum 282 passing yards on 24-of-31 attempts with two touchdowns, including a beautiful 33-yard touchdown to Kyle Williams at the end of the first half of their 33-15 ‘Monday Night Football,’ victory over the New York Giants. =

“I think he’s realizing what he can be and the impact he makes on this offense being the conductor,’ Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said after his team’s 10th-straight win

Through 13 games in 2025, the 2024 fourth-overall pick leads the NFL in both passing yards (3,412) and completion percentage (71.5). 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. Maye’s win on ‘Monday Night Football,’ was the 25th start of his NFL career. With that being said, can you name the quarterbacks in the NFL’s Super Bowl Era (since 1966) to throw the most touchdown passes in their first 25 starts?

Good luck!
