Aaron Rodgers passes Brett Favre on NFL's all-time passing TD list

Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre will forever be intertwined.

Now Rodgers has a leg up on his fellow Green Bay Packers legend in the NFL record book. On Sunday, Rodgers threw a second-quarter touchdown pass to DK Metcalf to give the Pittsburgh Steelers a 14-0 lead over the New England Patriots.

The touchdown pass was the 509th of Rodgers' NFL career, giving him one more than Favre and moving him into fourth place by himself on the all-time passing touchdown list. Only Tom Brady (649), Peyton Manning (571) and Drew Brees (571) have thrown more touchdowns than Rodgers.

Like Favre, Rodgers threw the bulk of his touchdown passes with the Packers during a stellar stint in Green Bay that included four MVPs and a Super Bowl championship. Rodgers threw 475 of his touchdown passes with the Packers and has since thrown 34 combined with the Steelers and New York Jets.

Favre threw 442 of his 508 touchdowns with the Packers before ending his career with the Vikings and Jets. Together, Rodgers and Favre combined for 31 years of Hall of Fame-level quarterback play, providing the Packers decades of stability. Now, Jordan Love is off to a strong start as Green Bay's third full-time starting quarterback since Favre took the reins in 1992.

As for Rodgers, he's off to his own strong start in Pittsburgh after two seasons in New York that were most notable for the Achilles injury that cost him the 2023 season. He's hoping to revive his career at 41 years old and return the Steelers to championship contention.

Owner David Tepper Admits He Lacks the Competence to Run Football Operations
Can you believe it? David Tepper, the "notorious" owner of the Carolina Panthers, has finally "confessed" a truth that team fans have been waiting for years: He doesn't have enough ability to handle everything himself! But hold on, this isn't a "disaster" – it's a "positive twist" that's saving the Panthers! Is Tepper "letting go" to let the team soar? Read now to uncover the "secret" behind this shocking statement! David Tepper, the billionaire famous for his "deep interference" style in the Carolina Panthers, has undergone an astonishing positive change in ownership. Instead of "micromanaging" every decision like before, Tepper is now less involved, allowing football operations to run independently under the guidance of experts. The result? The team is achieving stability and success beyond expectations, currently tied for first in the NFC South with potential to return to the playoffs after many "sinking" seasons! At the annual charity event Joy to the Carolinas on December 9, 2025, Tepper expressed confidence in the organization's new direction, implicitly admitting that he's not a "superhero" who can run everything himself. He said: "It's not bad at all. It's pretty good; it's all just building blocks, and we'll see where we go. We'll see what happens. We think, as I've said, Dave Canales, Dan Morgan, Brandt Tilis, and everyone in the organization, we're building something special in Carolina. And we've built it outside the community. We're building it on the field, so that's the overall picture. Hopefully, we can continue and have that for many years. That's what we're looking for." This "confession" is actually a wise acknowledgment: Tepper recognizes past mistakes when pushing for quick results, leading to a series of disastrous failures like continuous coach firings and poor draft choices. Now, he supports his professional picks – like head coach Dave Canales, general manager Dan Morgan, and vice president Brandt Tilis – without "interfering." Instead, Tepper focuses on infrastructure (like stadium upgrades) and community efforts, transforming himself from a "demanding boss" to a "silent supporter"! The Panthers are exceeding expectations at the end of the season, with solid gameplay and higher team spirit than ever. Optimism is spreading without the "must-win now" pressure – something that once caused the team to "break apart" under old Tepper. Fans, after years of "disappointment," now appreciate Tepper's enthusiasm and improved role as a true asset. Many fans on social media comment: "Finally, Tepper knows to 'let go' – and the Panthers are soaring because of it!" Some even predict that if this approach is maintained, the Panthers could become the "big boss" of the NFC South for many years to come. But is this "admission" a sign that Tepper is about to sell the team? Or just a "ploy" to appease fans? The Panthers ownership scandal is "hotter than ever" – and Tepper's words could change the team's history! What do you think, is Tepper really "incompetent" or is he "playing fair"? Comment now and follow for the next NFL "drama"!
