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 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.
Rodgers entered Sunday's game needing 96 passing yards to hit 60,000.
Also Sunday, the 20-year veteran passed Marino for seventh on the NFL's list for total yards passing in both regular-season and playoff games. He entered needing 74 to do so.
