  "account": "Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has reached a significant milestone in his career, surpassing Peyton Manning for the third-most pass touchdowns in NFL history. During Sunday's 34-22 win over the Indianapolis Colts, Rodgers threw his 580th career touchdown pass, including playoff games, securing his place as the third highest all-time. Only Tom Brady and Drew Brees have more touchdown passes. Rodgers achieved this feat in spectacular fashion, connecting with Jaylen Warren for an 80-yard touchdown in the first quarter. This performance marked the third consecutive week that Rodgers had thrown at least three touchdown passes, a milestone he last reached during the 2021 season with the Green Bay Packers. His achievement places him in an exclusive group of NFL greats, joining Brady, Brees and Manning as the only players to have thrown for at least three touchdowns in 90 games. Rodgers, a four-time NFL Most Valuable Player, continues to demonstrate his elite status and the Steelers' position strengthens with this record-setting performance.",
