Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is about to pass Peyton Manning for third on NFL's all-time passing touchdowns list.
“Currently, Rodgers and Peyton Manning are tied for third with 579 career touchdowns.”
Sunday's game
Rodgers could reach 580 career touchdowns against the Colts this Sunday.
“If Rodgers throws a touchdown pass on Sunday against the Colts, it will be the 580th of his NFL career, counting the playoffs.”
What happens next
Rodgers' record would then trail Drew Brees and Tom Brady, but he plans to retire after this season.
“If he makes this feat, all that’s left to catch up to is No. 2 Drew Brees and No. 1 Tom Brady, which is deemed super unlikely since Rodgers said this is his final NFL season at 42-years-old.”
The key point
Aaron Rodgers may become the NFL's third all-time passing touchdown leader by Sunday's game against the Colts.
