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).
