Aaron Rodgers Set to Break Pittsburgh Steelers Franchise Record
Aaron Rodgers is poised to make significant franchise history with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following a standout performance against the Cincinnati Bengals, where he threw four touchdowns, Rodgers showcased his impressive skill set. Currently, he has amassed 14 touchdown passes in just six games, putting him on track to surpass 40 touchdowns this season.
Aaron Rodgers Aims for Franchise Record
If he achieves this milestone, it would break the previous record of 34 touchdowns set by Ben Roethlisberger in 2018. That season was memorable for Roethlisberger, as he relied heavily on wide receiver Antonio Brown. In contrast, Rodgers has demonstrated versatility by connecting with multiple targets, including all four tight ends on the roster, each of whom has caught a touchdown pass this year.
Impressive Performance Metrics
- Touchdowns through six games: 14
- Projected touchdowns for the season: 40
- Previous franchise record: 34 touchdowns (Ben Roethlisberger, 2018)
- Career high for Rodgers: 45 touchdowns
Rodgers is currently tied with Jared Goff of the Detroit Lions for the NFL lead in touchdown passes. His ability to perform consistently has allowed the Steelers to score over 20 points in all but one game this season. Notably, he has recorded multiple four-touchdown games, with his first occurring in Week 1 against the New York Jets, where the Steelers won 34-32.
Conclusion
If Rodgers continues on this trajectory, he could not only break franchise records but also re-establish himself as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks. The Steelers’ offensive strategy, enhanced by Rodgers’ expertise, promises an exciting season ahead for fans and players alike.
