Rodgers Chasing NFL Playoff TD Record
8 Jan
Summary
- Aaron Rodgers is tied for third with 45 playoff touchdown passes.
- He could surpass Patrick Mahomes' 46 playoff touchdowns soon.
- Tom Brady holds the record with 88 career playoff touchdown passes.
As the NFL playoffs continue, Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on the cusp of a notable achievement in career playoff touchdown passes. He is currently tied for third place with 45 touchdown passes, closely following Patrick Mahomes, who holds the second position with 46. Tom Brady remains the all-time leader with an impressive 88 playoff touchdown passes.
Rodgers has a strong opportunity to overtake Mahomes, especially as his team is actively competing in the postseason while Mahomes is recovering from surgery. A strong performance against the Texans could see Rodgers tied with, or even ahead of, Mahomes on the leaderboard. This situation highlights a compelling race for the second spot behind the record-holder.
While Mahomes, being younger, is projected to potentially surpass Rodgers and even challenge Brady's record in the long term, the immediate focus is on Rodgers' current playoff run. This season presents a unique chance for the veteran quarterback to solidify his place as the second most prolific passer in NFL playoff history.
