Aaron Rodgers On the Verge of Passing Peyton Manning in NFL Record Book
The Steelers QB is even ready to set the record when facing Manning’s old team, which will be an added kick in the shin.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the verge of breaking the NFL record for most passing touchdowns. Currently tied with Peyton Manning for third place with 579 career touchdowns, Rodgers is set to surpass Manning if he throws another touchdown pass in their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
If successful, Rodgers will have achieved 580 career touchdowns, putting him ahead of current No. 2 Drew Brees and No. 1 Tom Brady. However, this accomplishment seems unlikely as Rodgers has announced this will be his final NFL season at 42 years old. The Steelers, currently 2-2, are in a tight race for the AFC North lead behind the Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns. Meanwhile, the Colts aim to recover from their disappointing 0-2 start to the season.
