As the clash between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots grabbed the limelight with an emotional homecoming for Tom Brady, another incredible feat that was racked up in the battle between the Packers and the Steelers was eclipsed. The Packers packed a powerful wallop as they cruised past a stuttering Steelers in the second and the third quarter of the game. Thanks to Aaron Rodgers who pulled off an insane 248 yards to stamp his authority over the collision.
Going by the name mentioned above, the feat that went unnoticed in the middle of overwhelming pandemonium, was the Packers’ quarterback, Aaron Rodgers who became the first player in the history of Green Bay Packers to rack up 500 touchdowns in regular seasons and play-offs. This came on the back of the three touchdowns that he pulled off on the night of his team’s convincing victory against the Steelers at the Lambeau Field.
A glimpse at Aaron Rodgers achieving the feat of a lifetime
Aaron Rodgers belted out two touchdown passes against the Steelers, levelling the record of Dan Marino for the sixth all-time at 420 passing TD’s. He has managed a total of 472 touchdowns in the regular season out of which 420 were passing touchdowns while the remaining ones were rushing touchdowns. His 500th touchdown was a 23-yard pass to his teammate, Randall Cobb that came in the second quarter.
He managed to rack up his second touchdown of the night with another scouring pass to Randall Cobb in the second half as he climbed up the pecking order of touchdowns with 501 in his tally which is also the highest in the glittering antiquity of the Green Bay Packers. The man who was in the closest contention of Rodgers in the club history was Hall of Famer, Brett Favre who pulled off 495 touchdowns that can be assorted into 481 passing touchdowns and 14 rushing touchdowns.
One more TD from Rodgers will help him equalize the record of Philip Rivers for the all-time fifth position. The man who holds the ace in touchdowns is none other than the legend who stole the show on the same night with his new record of passing yardage, Tom Brady. Brady has 707 touchdowns in his kitty and now also leads the passing yardage by a proverbial mile as he kissed the benchmark of 80,560 yards, bettering the benchmark of 80,558 that was held by the legendary quarterback, Drew Brees.
