CINCINNATI<\/strong> \u2013 New Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco ranks 22nd in NFL history with 259 touchdown passes.<\/p>\n

But Flacco is tied for fifth in a unique touchdown passing category.<\/p>\n

And he could feasibly climb into first by the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Flacco\u2019s 259 touchdowns have gone to 65 different plays, tying him with Matthew Stafford for the fifth-most distributed scoring strikes in league history.<\/p>\n

The NFL leader in both categories is Drew Brees, whose 571 touchdowns were spread among 73 players.<\/p>\n

Russell Wilson is second with 71 different touchdown targets, followed by Vinny Testaverde (70), Tom Brady (67), Matthew Stafford (65) and Flacco.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Flacco didn\u2019t throw his first career touchdown pass until his third start, hitting Daniel Wilcox for a 4-yard score against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 29, 2008.<\/p>\n

That was 6,220 days ago.<\/p>\n

Torrey Smith has caught more touchdown passes from Flacco than any other player with 30.<\/p>\n

Derrick Mason is second on the list with 18, followed by Steve Smith (14), Anquan Boldin (14), Dennis Pitta (13) and Todd Heap (13).<\/p>\n

No. 7 on the roll is Mike Wallace with eight.<\/p>\n

Could Ja\u2019Marr Chase pass Wallace by the end of this season?<\/p>\n

Chase averaged one touchdown per game last year and isn\u2019t too far off that number this year with three scores in five games.<\/p>\n

And While Chase has a penchant for long touchdown receptions, it\u2019s doubtful he\u2019ll be able to say he caught the longest of Flacco\u2019s career no matter how well the rest of the season goes.<\/p>\n

Flacco\u2019s longest is a 95-yarder to Wallace in 2016.<\/p>\n

As for Bengals connections, there is one current Cincinnati player and one former one on Flacco\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

Tight end Noah Fant caught a 25-yard TD pass from Flacco as a rookie in 2019.<\/p>\n

Former Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh caught three touchdown passes from Flacco in 2010.<\/p>\n
