Aaron Rodgers Ties Brett Favre for Fourth All-Time in Touchdown Passes

Why this matters: Rodgers, at 41, continues to make his mark in NFL history, and this achievement underscores his longevity and skill. It also highlights the Steelers' acquisition of a seasoned quarterback.

Aaron Rodgers, after a long and storied career with the Green Bay Packers, found himself in Pittsburgh, aiming to add to his legacy. In Week 2 against the Seattle Seahawks, Rodgers connected with DK Metcalf on a 3-yard pass, tying his former teammate Brett Favre for fourth all-time in career touchdown passes with 508. This milestone arrived during a 31-17 defeat to the Seahawks, where Rodgers completed 18 of 33 passes for 203 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions.

Rodgers was drafted by the Packers in 2005 and took over as QB1 after Favre’s departure. After a stint with the Jets, Rodgers joined the Steelers, achieving his 500th career touchdown in Week 18 of 2024. While Rodgers is now tied with Favre, he still trails Peyton Manning (539), Drew Brees (571), and Tom Brady (649) in all-time touchdown passes.

The Seattle Seahawks defense proved challenging for Rodgers, with cornerback Derion Kendrick intercepting Rodgers in the end zone. Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III had a strong performance, rushing for 105 yards and a touchdown. Sam Darnold, the Seahawks quarterback, also contributed with multiple touchdown passes to players like AJ Barner and Tory Horton.
