Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers ties former teammate Brett Favre for fourth all time with 508 TD passes

Copied!

Aaron Rodgers is back together with Brett Favre.

The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback moved into fourth place all time in career touchdown passes on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, tying former teammate and Hall of Famer Favre at No. 508.

Rodgers’ milestone score was hauled in by receiver DK Metcalf on a 3-yard pass in the second quarter.

Once teammates on the Green Bay Packers, Rodgers’ and Favre’s 508 th TD tosses similarly came with the second team they played for after departing Green Bay.

Favre was a member of the Minnesota Vikings when he threw his final touchdown on Dec. 20, 2010, against the Chicago Bears. Not long after, Favre ended his career as the league’s leader in career TD tosses.

He’s been passed up by Hall of Famer Peyton Manning (539 career touchdown passes) and future Hall of Famers Drew Brees (571) and Tom Brady (649). Rodgers would have to find vintage form to catch or surpass Manning this season, needing 36 for the year to tie him — a number he’s bested six times in his career, with the last coming in a 37-TD 2021.
