The Stats
Aaron Rodgers is on the verge of greatness. The Steelers quarterback is hunting down a massive NFL record tonight against the Cleveland Browns. Across five career games against Cleveland, Rodgers has posted a 4-1 record with 11 touchdown passes and zero interceptions. That puts him right in the mix with legends like Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes for the most TD passes thrown against a single opponent without a pick.
The Path to the Record
If Rodgers throws at least two touchdown passes tonight without throwing an interception, he officially takes the top spot. It’s a total power move, though he did have a quiet game against the Browns last December where he threw zero touchdowns. Still, he's proven he can hit the mark, and it's giving major main character energy for his 22nd season. If he pulls this off, he has another chance to pad his stats against Cleveland in Week 8. Patrick Mahomes won't get a chance to counter until 2027, so the throne is currently Rodgers' to claim.
Why it matters
A win for the Steelers tonight is highkey important. Not only would it push them into at least a tie for first place in the AFC North, but it would also snap a brutal 46-year streak. Since 1980, the Steelers are 0-9 in Thursday night divisional road games. Breaking that curse while setting an NFL record? Say less.
