Aaron Rodgers etched his name deeper into NFL history during Week 7, officially surpassing Indianapolis Colts legend Peyton Manning on the all-time passing touchdown list. The milestone was secured on a second-quarter strike to Darnell Washington, a play that highlighted Rodgers’ enduring precision and ability to create separation in critical moments.
Rodgers reaches 540 career scores, cementing his legacy as a top-3 NFL quarterback
The sequence showcased Rodgers’ trademark composure, as he delivered a jump ball to Washington, who physically bullied a defender to secure the catch. Despite being shoved out of bounds, Washington held onto the football to complete the score, giving Rodgers his 540th career passing touchdown. This specific feat places the veteran quarterback firmly in the top tier of the position’s all-time rankings.
With this achievement, Rodgers now sits third all-time in passing touchdowns, trailing only Drew Brees and Tom Brady. As he approaches the twilight of his career, this milestone reinforces his status as one of the most efficient and prolific signal-callers of his era, ensuring his legacy remains intact regardless of future team changes.
