Twenty years ago, the Packers drafted Aaron Rodgers to be Brett Favre's heir apparent. On Sunday, Rodgers could surpass Favre on the NFL's all-time list of touchdown passers.

After throwing four touchdown passes in his Steelers debut on Sunday, Rodgers has now thrown 507 career regular-season touchdown passes. Favre retired with 508.

If Rodgers throws for one touchdown on Sunday against the Seahawks, he'll tie Favre for the fourth-most in NFL history. With two touchdown passes Rodgers will move ahead of Favre.

Rodgers still has a very long way to go to reach Tom Brady's NFL record total of 649 regular-season touchdown passes. Drew Brees is second all-time with 571, followed by Peyton Manning with 539. Rodgers has a chance of passing Manning for third all-time this season.

Rodgers could also surpass Philip Rivers for the sixth-most passing yards in NFL history on Sunday. Rodgers has 63,196 career regular-season passing yards. Rivers retired with 63,440.

The 41-year-old Rodgers had a very disappointing two-year tenure with the Jets, but looked in his first game with the Steelers like he's found a fountain of youth in Pittsburgh.
