Aaron Rodgers Poised to Shatter a Rare NFL Record—Can He Make History This Sunday?

There’s something electric about Aaron Rodgers lining up against the Vikings once more — not just because it’s another Sunday showdown, but because this game could etch his name a little deeper into the NFL history books. Rodgers has already thrown 59 touchdown passes against Minnesota — an impressive tally, no doubt — and with just one more touchdown under his belt in Dublin, he’ll join an elite club as the second quarterback ever to crack 60+ touchdown passes against multiple franchises. Think about that: 64 against the Bears, and in the league with Tom Brady’s unheard-of 60-plus touchdowns against three distinct teams. What really amps up the drama? The 41-year-old signal-caller reportedly had dreams of suiting up for the Vikings this season — dreams that didn’t pan out as they bet on J.J. McCarthy, who’s sidelined this Sunday thanks to an ankle sprain. And if the Steelers snag the win, expect Rodgers to weave that little nugget into his post-game banter, reminding everyone the Vikings doubted him — just like he did after Week 1’s Steelers-Jets clash. It’s more than a game; it’s a personal statement waiting to unfold. LEARN MORE

Quarterback Aaron Rodgers faces the Vikings again on Sunday. And the game gives him a chance to tie a very specific all-time record.

He has thrown 59 touchdown passes against Minnesota. With one touchdown pass in Dublin, he’ll be the second quarterback in NFL history to throw 60 or more touchdown passes against multiple franchises.

Rodgers has 64 against the Bears. Tom Brady threw 60-plus touchdown passes against three teams: the Bills, the Dolphins, and the Jets.

The 41-year-old quarterback has a different motivation. He reportedly wanted to play for the Vikings this year. They chose to stick with J.J. McCarthy, who will miss Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury — and who has had one solid quarter in eight as the Vikings’ starter.

If the Steelers win, look for Rodgers to find a way to say in the post-game press conference that the Vikings didn’t think he could play. Like he did after the Steelers beat the Jets in Week 1.
