Aaron Rodgers reached one other milestone in his stellar profession on Sunday by changing into simply the ninth participant in NFL historical past to throw for 60,000 yards in regular-season video games.
The 40-year-old New York Jets quarterback crossed the edge when he linked with Tyler Conklin on a 7-yard completion within the third quarter in opposition to the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The four-time NFL MVP joins a listing that’s led by Tom Brady (89,214 yards) and consists of Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre — whom Rodgers backed up for 3 years in Inexperienced Bay.
After Favre (71,838 yards), the record continues with Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Dan Marino.
Ryan was the eighth participant to hitch the record and the second quickest (223 video games). Brees was the quickest, reaching the mark in 215 video games.
Rodgers entered Sunday’s sport needing 96 passing yards to hit 60,000.
Additionally Sunday, the 20-year veteran handed Marino for seventh on the NFL’s record for whole yards passing in each regular-season and playoff video games. He entered needing 74 to take action.
