Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers moves past Peyton Manning on all-time list   

Aaron Rodgers did more than just play one of his best games as a Steeler on "Monday Night Football," but he made some history as well. 

Rodgers not only led Pittsburgh to a 28-15 win over the Miami Dolphins, but he did so while throwing multiple touchdown passes for the 166th time in his career. 

Rodgers, who turned 42 on Dec. 2, tossed a pair of touchdown strikes in addition to throwing for 224 yards and completing 85.2 percent of his passes. 

With his sixth such game of the season, Rodgers now has the third-most games with multiple touchdown passes all-time, passing Peyton Manning and sitting behind fellow NFL legends Tom Brady (204) and Drew Brees (173) in league history.

Rodgers has recorded 22 touchdown passes through 13 games played in 2025, giving him 525 for his career. But while Rodgers passed Manning in one category on Monday night, it's unlikely he catches him on the all-time touchdown passes list. 

Will Aaron Rodgers pass Peyton Manning on another all-time list? 

Manning is just above Rodgers on the all-time TDs list with the third most at 539, which means the Steelers veteran signal-caller will have to prolong his career again and return for a 22nd season. And in addition to climbing up the all-time lists, Rodgers has turned a corner in recent weeks as the Steelers sit at 8-6 and at the top of the AFC North.

Aaron Rodgers has played well when Steelers have needed him most 

Before his efficient night against Miami, Rodgers completed 23-of-34 passes for 284 yards and two total touchdowns against the Ravens, which even included running in his first score with his legs in years. 

While there have been some peaks and valleys of Rodgers' time in Pittsburgh, he's put together a much better likely final season than what he experienced in two years with the Jets. Rodgers has 2,594 passing yards with 22 touchdowns through the air and only seven picks with three weeks remaining in the regular season.
