  • Those two touchdown passes in the game brought Rodgers’ regular-season total to 539, tying Peyton Manning for third place on the NFL regular-season passing touchdown leaderboard.
  • Rodgers completed 33 of 49 passes for 253 yards with two touchdowns, one interception and took five sacks in the game.
