Rodgers has been so steady over the years, nice to see him climb past Manning on that list.

Aaron Rodgers threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Darnell Washington in the second quarter for his 540th career regular-season touchdown, moving past Peyton Manning's 539 into sole third place all-time. He trails Drew Brees (571) and Tom Brady (649). The Steelers beat the Saints 16-10 on October 25, 2026, in the NFL's first game in Paris at Stade de France. Rodgers went 19 of 30 for 212 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. Chris Boswell kicked field goals of 28 and 47 yards. Daniel Carlson made a 38-yarder, and Tyler Shough threw a touchdown to Devaughn Vele. Payton Wilson's diving interception of Shough in the red zone ended a 14-play Saints drive after halftime. Shough finished 30 of 38 for 278 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Pittsburgh outgained New Orleans 148-18 rushing and had 10 rushing first downs to three, led by Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle. The Steelers improved to 5-2; the Saints fell to 2-5. CONTESTED: None found. One center-rated outlet covered the game; no left- or right-rated headlines appeared. Sources align on the milestone, score and key plays. Rodgers has said this is his final season. Both teams play the Browns next, Pittsburgh at home and New Orleans after its bye.

Passing Manning at this stage shows Rodgers still has plenty left in the tank.

The Steelers defense really kept them in it during that Paris game, even with the low score.
