Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers reached another important career milestone in Sunday’s 30-16 win over Philadelphia Eagles. Rodgers threw three touchdown passes in this game, reaching the 400 career TD mark.
Rodgers hit the mark in the third quarter, capping off an impressive 99-yard drive with a TD pass to Davante Adams. Aware of the magnitude of the moment, Adams kept the ball and presented it to Rodgers in the endzone.
“Pretty cool that Davante got it,” said Rodgers in the post-game press conference. “I didn’t do a whole lot on that play. It was a really good schemed play. He did the whole thing, stiff-armed his way into the end zone.”
Aaron Rodgers needed 193 regular-season games to reach 400 passing touchdowns, becoming the fastest to do so in NFL history. New Orleans Saints signal-caller Drew Brees previously held the record, reaching the mark in 205 games.
Rodgers is the seventh QB to throw 400 TDs, joining Brees, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Brett Favre, Dan Marino, and Phillip Rivers. He is also the only one of the bunch to do it with less than 100 interceptions. The 37-year-old has only 88 career interceptions.
Rodgers is currently playing an MVP-caliber season, completing 68.9 percent of his passes over 3,395 passing yards, 36 TDs, and only four interceptions through Week 13. His stellar play has the Packers sitting at a 9-3 record, making a strong push to have the best record in the NFC.
