Overview
- Rodgers moved into sole possession of third place on the NFL career touchdown pass list with 580 postseason-inclusive TDs following a three-touchdown performance in Sunday’s 34-22 win over Indianapolis.
- The milestone came on an 80-yard strike to running back Jaylen Warren that Rodgers said he ‘‘earned’’ after taking a hit on the play.
- Sunday marked Rodgers’ third straight game with three or more passing touchdowns and his 90th career game with at least three TDs, extending a late-career hot streak.
- The victory gave Rodgers one more regular-season win than Ben Roethlisberger, moved his total to 166, and improved the Steelers to 3-2 ahead of their Week 6 trip to Tampa Bay.
- At 42 and reported to be in his final season, Rodgers now trails only Tom Brady (737) and Drew Brees (608) on the postseason-inclusive list, a line that further shapes his Hall of Fame resume and the narrative around his closing career arc.
