Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the verge of achieving a significant NFL milestone as he prepares to face the Cincinnati Bengals. Currently, Rodgers boasts 180 career wins, placing him just one victory away from tying Drew Brees for fourth on the all-time win list, which includes playoff games. To surpass Brees, Rodgers must secure four more wins, moving him into the fourth spot behind Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, and Tom Brady.
However, Rodgers has indicated that he plans to retire at the end of this season, so he will likely fall short of surpassing Manning and Favre. Despite this, Rodgers has already surpassed Ben Roethlisberger in career wins, moving into fifth place after a recent 34-22 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Furthermore, Rodgers has made history with his 4-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Washington against the New Orleans Saints, surpassing Peyton Manning's record for third all-time in regular-season touchdown passes with 540.
Only Brady and Brees have thrown more touchdown passes in NFL history. Rodgers has now accumulated 585 career touchdown passes, ranking third overall, with Brady and Brees leading the way. Additionally, Rodgers surpassed Roethlisberger's career passing yards total of 64,088 last year, placing him fifth all-time, while Roethlisberger fell to seventh.
To reach the 70,000-yard milestone, Rodgers needs to accumulate an additional 1,855 passing yards this season.
