Overview
- Rodgers threw the overtime touchdown that gave the Pittsburgh Steelers a 26-19 road win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and finished the game 33-for-49 for 253 yards with two TDs, one interception and five sacks.
- The Steelers confirmed the throw brought Rodgers to 539 regular-season passing touchdowns, tying him with Peyton Manning for third all time, and his next regular-season TD would move him into sole possession of that spot.
- This season is Rodgers’ second with Pittsburgh and his self-declared final NFL year, and he has 12 touchdown passes through six games while the Steelers sit at 4-2.
- After the game Rodgers’ career totals reported in coverage included 270 games played, a 65.1% completion rate, 67,761 passing yards, 539 TDs, 128 interceptions and a 101.8 career passer rating.
- Reporters note that rankings change depending on whether postseason stats are included, so the next games will matter both for Rodgers’ legacy and for how record lists are compared.
