LONDON (AP) — Aaron Rodgers reached another milestone in his stellar career on Sunday by becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to throw for 60,000 yards in regular-season games.
The 40-year-old New York Jets quarterback crossed the threshold when he connected with Tyler Conklin on a 7-yard completion in the third quarter against the Minnesota Vikings at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Vikings won 23-17.
The four-time NFL MVP joins a list that is led by Tom Brady (89,214 yards) and includes Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre — whom Rodgers backed up for three years in Green Bay.
After Favre (71,838 yards), the list continues with Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Dan Marino.
