MVS Catches Rodgers TD: Unique NFL History Made

A unique piece of NFL history was written when Marquez Valdes-Scantling connected with Aaron Rodgers for a touchdown. This marks the first time a player, other than Rodgers himself, has caught a pass from him as both a Green Bay Packer and a Pittsburgh Steeler. Rodgers, who was signed by the Steelers, found his former Packers teammate for a score against the Miami Dolphins.

Rodgers is the only other player to have caught passes from himself on both franchises, a statistic that highlights his long and impactful career. This connection between Rodgers and Valdes-Scantling underscores the quarterback's tendency to favor familiar receivers, especially those he considers 'his guys'. The touchdown pass was a quick reward for Valdes-Scantling joining the Steelers.
