Aaron Rodgers Poised to Shatter Brett Favre’s Touchdown Record in Sunday Showdown—History Awaits!

It’s wild to think that two decades ago, the Packers took a chance on Aaron Rodgers, grooming him to step out of Brett Favre’s colossal shadow. Fast forward to this Sunday, and Rodgers might just eclipse Favre on the NFL’s all-time touchdown passer leaderboard — talk about poetic justice! After lighting it up with four touchdown passes in his revival debut for the Steelers, Rodgers now sits at 507 regular-season touchdowns, just a whisper behind Favre’s 508 career tally. Just one more touchdown against the Seahawks and he’ll lock in a tie for fourth place in NFL history; two, and he’s past him. Of course, the summit is still a long haul — Tom Brady’s sky-high record of 649 touchdown passes remains in the crosshairs, with Drew Brees and Peyton Manning ahead too, but Rodgers is no stranger to rewriting the record books this season. Throw in the fact that he’s on the brink of surpassing Philip Rivers for sixth-most passing yards ever, and you’ve got a narrative brimming with redemption — especially after those underwhelming years with the Jets. At 41, Rodgers looks like he’s tapped into some sort of fountain of youth in Pittsburgh. It’s a story you don’t want to miss. LEARN MORE

Twenty years ago, the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers to be Brett Favre’s heir apparent. On Sunday, Rodgers could surpass Favre on the NFL’s all-time list of touchdown passers.

After throwing four touchdown passes in his Steelers debut on Sunday, Rodgers has now thrown 507 career regular-season touchdown passes. Favre retired with 508.

If Rodgers throws for one touchdown on Sunday against the Seahawks, he’ll tie Favre for the fourth-most in NFL history. With two touchdown passes Rodgers will move ahead of Favre.

Rodgers still has a very long way to go to reach Tom Brady’s NFL record total of 649 regular-season touchdown passes. Drew Brees is second all-time with 571, followed by Peyton Manning with 539. Rodgers has a chance of passing Manning for third all-time this season.

Rodgers could also surpass Philip Rivers for the sixth-most passing yards in NFL history on Sunday. Rodgers has 63,196 career regular-season passing yards. Rivers retired with 63,440.

The 41-year-old Rodgers had a very disappointing two-year tenure with the Jets, but looked in his first game with the Steelers like he’s found a fountain of youth in Pittsburgh.
