## 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.
## Key takeaway

Aaron Rodgers may become the NFL's third all-time passing touchdown leader by Sunday's game against the Colts.
