Not too surprising, I suppose. This includes all rushing touchdowns, including in the postseason, but does not include rushing touchdowns for 2013, not that it matters very much for Chris Johnson. :rimshot:

All players with at least 30 rushing touchdowns are included since 1940.

Finally, statistical evidence to justify the hatred Lydell Mitchell fantasy owners felt from 1975 through 1977 towards Don McCauley. Mitchell finished in the top three in yards from scrimmage in each of those seasons, but McCauley vultured 25 touchdowns, leaving just 19 rushing scores for Mitchell owners.
