Aaron Rodgers Surpasses Brett Favre with 509th NFL Touchdown Pass

Aaron Rodgers, now a quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, has surpassed Brett Favre to become fourth on the NFL's all-time passing touchdown list with 509 touchdown passes. This milestone was achieved during a game against the New England Patriots, highlighted by a touchdown pass to wide receiver DK Metcalf. Rodgers, who spent three years learning under Favre in Green Bay, has expressed pride in the longevity of his career rather than the record itself. Currently, only Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning have more touchdown passes, with Manning being the most likely for Rodgers to surpass in the future. Rodgers' impressive start with the Steelers, including multiple touchdown passes early in the season, has been crucial to his advancement on the all-time list. While Rodgers is unlikely to catch Manning this season, continued play could put him within striking distance in the coming years.
