Aaron Rodgers Aims to Match Unique All-Time Record This Sunday
Aaron Rodgers Aims to Tie All-Time Record Against Minnesota Vikings
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers is set to face off against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, presenting him with an opportunity to achieve a remarkable milestone. Rodgers has thrown 59 touchdown passes against the Vikings, and with one more touchdown pass during the game in Dublin, he will become only the second quarterback in NFL history to throw 60 or more touchdown passes against multiple franchises.
Rodgers Poised to Join Elite NFL Quarterback Club
Currently, Aaron Rodgers has 64 touchdown passes against the Chicago Bears. If he reaches 60 against the Vikings, he would join the ranks of Tom Brady, who has thrown 60 or more touchdown passes against three teams: the Buffalo Bills, the Miami Dolphins, and the New York Jets. This achievement would further solidify Rodgers’ status among the greats in NFL history.
Game Significance and Leadership Motivations
Beyond aiming for this record, the 41-year-old quarterback has other motivations. Rumors suggest that Rodgers expressed interest in playing for the Vikings this year. Despite this, the team decided to remain with their current quarterback, J.J. McCarthy, who will be sitting out Sunday’s game due to an ankle injury. McCarthy has had limited success, with only one strong quarter in eight as the Vikings’ starting quarterback.
| Quarterback | Touchdown Passes Against Teams |
|---|---|

| Tom Brady | 60+ (Bills, Dolphins, Jets) |
