Aaron Rodgers passed former Green Bay Packers teammate Brett Favre on the all-time passing touchdown list on Sunday, moving into sole possession of fourth place with 509 and counting.

The Steelers quarterback set the mark early in the second quarter of Pittsburgh's game with the New England Patriots, connecting with DK Metcalf from 12 yards out to give his team a 14-0 lead.

That TD moved him ahead of Favre, who wrapped up his career with 508.

Rodgers is 30 touchdowns behind No. 3 on the list, Peyton Manning (539), but the 41-year-old would have to do some serious work to catch the other leaders. Drew Brees sits in second with 571, while Tom Brady holds the career record with 649.

A 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time All Pro, Rodgers compiled the bulk of his touchdowns in a Super Bowl-winning, 18-year run with Green Bay. He played for the New York Jets in 2023-24 before joining the Steelers this offseason.
