Winning in the regular season gets a quarterback to the playoffs, but postseason wins are what build a lasting resume. Among the NFL's active quarterbacks, six veterans and stars have already separated themselves from the rest when it comes to playoff success.

A list shared by @nflonprime ranks the six active quarterbacks with the most playoff wins, led by Patrick Mahomes with 17. Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford and Jalen Hurts round out the group.

Patrick Mahomes

A 17-4 playoff record puts Patrick Mahomes at the top of this list. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback has also collected AP MVP honors in 2018 and 2022 during his nine NFL seasons.

His regular-season numbers include 35,939 passing yards and 267 touchdowns. Mahomes has also posted a 95-31 regular-season record, giving him an impressive overall career record.

Aaron Rodgers

With a 12-11 playoff record, Aaron Rodgers has the second-most postseason wins among the six quarterbacks, as per the QB list shared by @nflonprime on Instagram. His 21-year career has included a long run with the Green Bay Packers along with time with the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Rodgers has thrown for 66,274 yards and 527 touchdowns, while also winning four AP MVP awards, including the 2021 award.

Joe Flacco

The postseason has been a major part of Joe Flacco's long NFL career, as he owns a 10-6 playoff record. He has played 18 seasons and has spent time with several teams, including the Baltimore Ravens, New York Jets, Cleveland Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, Indianapolis Colts, and Denver Broncos.

Across 209 career games, Flacco has made 201 starts. His career totals also include 48,176 passing yards and 272 touchdowns, adding to his extensive NFL experience.

Josh Allen

Josh Allen has already collected eight playoff wins, giving him an 8-7 postseason record through eight NFL seasons. The Buffalo Bills quarterback has quickly built one of the stronger playoff resumes among younger active QBs.

His career numbers include 30,102 passing yards and 220 touchdowns. Allen's 2024 season was also notable, as Buffalo went 13-4 and he finished with a 101.4 passer rating.

Matthew Stafford

A 7-6 playoff record places Matthew Stafford fifth among the quarterbacks featured here. The veteran has played 17 seasons and has made 239 starts during his career.

Stafford's career totals stand at 64,516 passing yards and 423 touchdowns. He had a standout 2025 season, throwing for 4,707 yards and 46 touchdowns and earning AP MVP and first-team All-Pro honors.

Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts has a 6-4 playoff record through six NFL seasons, giving him six postseason wins so far. He has also completed 1,542 passes for 17,891 yards and 110 touchdowns during his career, numbers that show his growth since entering the league.

The 2022 season was a major step forward for Hurts. He went 14-1 as a starter and earned Pro Bowl and AP honors, making it one of the strongest seasons of his young career.

Mahomes has already built a significant gap at the top, while Rodgers and Flacco have the experience to remain among the leaders.

Allen and Hurts, meanwhile, have reached this list much earlier in their careers, giving them plenty of time to climb it. With all six quarterbacks still active, the order could look very different over the next few seasons.
