Aaron Rodgers Sets Packers Franchise Record
Aaron Rodgers set a Packers franchise record with 475 regular season touchdown passes.
He threw his first career touchdown pass in his third NFL season in a Week 13 game with the Cowboys.
Coming off the bench to replace Brett Favre, Rodgers threw for an 11-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Greg Jennings.
His final touchdown pass as a Packer came in Rodgers’ last game with the team, a disappointing 20-16 home loss to the Lions.
The Packers would have made the playoffs with a win.
In the third quarter, Rodgers found wide receiver Allen Lazard on a 13-yard touchdown pass.
That put the Packers head 16-13.
In between those two touchdown tosses, Rodgers set one particular record that will be difficult for any quarterback to break: he threw four or more touchdowns in a game 33 times.
Since leaving the Packers, Rodgers added three more games of four or more touchdown passes, one with the Jets and two with the Steelers.
Twice in his career, Rodgers threw six touchdown passes in a game.
The first in Week 6 of the 2012 season in a road game against the Houston Texans.
Jordy Nelson caught three of those touchdowns and finished the game with nine catches for 121 yards.
He opened the scoring with a 41-yard touchdown catch.
James Jones caught two touchdown passes in the game and tight end Tom Crabtree had one.
Crabtree’s was the longest of the day, a 48-yard effort early in the fourth quarter.
The Packers went on to win the game 42-24.
Rodgers threw 338 yards and did not throw an interception.
Three times Rodgers threw five touchdown passes in a game.
The first came on Christmas Day in 2011 in a 35-21 win over the Bears.
Nelson and James Jones had two touchdown catches each while tight end Jermichael Finley caught the other.
Four years later, Rodgers threw five touchdown passes in a 38-28 win over the Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 3.
Cobb caught three touchdown passes while James Jones and Ty Montgomery had one each.
The final five touchdown pass game that Rodgers had came in 2019 against the Raiders.
The Packers won the game 42-24.
Five different receivers caught a touchdown pass from Rodgers in this game.
They included running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams.
