Rodgers has reached several major NFL milestones this season.
With a win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, he surpassed Ben Roethlisberger with 166 career wins.
The only quarterbacks with more wins are Brady (251), Brett Favre (186), Manning (186) and Brees (171).
Rodgers surpassed Roethlisberger (64,088) on the career passing yards list last season. He now sits fifth all time, while Roethlisberger has dropped to seventh.
Rodgers reached another significant milestone in Week 5. With throwing three touchdown passes against the Colts, Rodgers joined Hall of Famer Terry Bradshaw as the only quarterbacks in Steelers history to throw three touchdown passes in three consecutive weeks within a season.
Rodgers had not thrown three or more touchdown passes in three straight games since his MVP season of 2021.
Bradshaw accomplished the feat in 1982, which was a strike year, so it wasn’t three consecutive weeks. Bradshaw started the season with three touchdown passes in each of the Steelers’ first two games, wins over the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers didn’t play their next game until Nov. 21 because of the strike. Bradshaw threw three touchdowns in the first game back, defeating the Houston Oilers.
