So that's down to 9 TDs in what you might call 'garbage time'. You needed 14. I wouldn't personally count anything in the third quarter, either, as I don't believe any professional team is going to just throw in the backups that early in a game, but it's best to be fair in these cases.

Also, it's worth pointing out that three of those are in the same game, in which the team built up a 27-point deficit and Blake proceeded to score 3 touchdowns to narrow the gap somewhat. For a season with so many losses, there were surprisingly few TDs in real garbage time.

Thanks for doing all this research. So basically a third of his TDs this past season were garbage time TDs. I recall doing a similar study of his 2015 season and concluded that only a few of his many TDs were actually in garbage time as that was a rather competitive season throughout. Over both years he's combined he's only thrown maybe a dozen garbage time TDs.
