Yahoo Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Aaron Rodgers surpassed Peyton Manning for third place on the NFL's all-time passing touchdowns list with his second-quarter touchdown pass to Darnell Washington in Week 7.
- The touchdown increased Rodgers' career total to 540 passing touchdowns, placing him behind only Drew Brees and Tom Brady.
- Rodgers achieved this milestone early in the 2026 season, having been just 12 touchdowns shy of Manning's record at the start of the year.
- Despite this achievement, Rodgers is 31 touchdowns behind Brees for second place, making it unlikely he will climb higher given his age and the remaining games in the season.
- The touchdown helped the Pittsburgh Steelers secure a 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints, with Rodgers also contributing a crucial late first down.
