Packers' Aaron Rodgers becomes fifth player in NFL history to reach 500 career passing touchdowns

Future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers added another historic feat to his legacy Sunday in the Green Bay Packers 27-24 overtime win over the New England Patriots. 

With the Packers trailing the Patriots 24-17 late in the fourth quarter, Rodgers connected with Romeo Doubs on a 13-yard touchdown. 

The score helped Rodgers become only the fifth quarterback in NFL history to reach 500 career passing touchdowns, joining Brett Favre (508), Peyton Manning (539), Drew Brees (571), and Tom Brady (627). 

Rodgers finished 21-of-35 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and a rare pick-six in the Packers' victory on Sunday. The Packers have now won three games in a row after dropping their opener to the Minnesota Vikings in an ugly 23-7 loss. 

Rodgers has thrown for 935 yards through four games this season with six touchdowns and three interceptions.
