Aaron Rodgers Makes NFL History in Paris with Milestone Touchdowns
Summary
Aaron Rodgers continues to etch his name in the NFL record books during the league's inaugural game in Paris on Sunday. The veteran quarterback made history by becoming the first player to participate in international games for three consecutive years across different countries.
In 2022, Rodgers led the Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in the first NFL game held in Ireland, and in 2024, he played for the New York Jets when they faced the Minnesota Vikings in London.
Rodgers added another remarkable achievement to his career during Pittsburgh's third drive, surpassing Peyton Manning to claim third place on the NFL's all-time regular season passing touchdown list. This milestone occurred during the Steelers' Week 5 win against the Indianapolis Colts, where he threw his 540th career touchdown pass.
The record-setting play was a four-yard completion to Darnell Washington, a standout tight end who has quickly become one of Rodgers' favorite targets.
At 42 years old, the four-time league MVP is enjoying a stellar season with the Steelers, who are aiming for their 23rd consecutive non-losing season. Notably, he has become the first Steelers quarterback since Terry Bradshaw to throw three touchdown passes in three consecutive games. Additionally, Rodgers has achieved the feat of throwing multiple touchdown passes in four straight games for the first time since 2022, his final year with the Green Bay Packers.
