Aaron Rodgers passed Brett Favre and Peyton Manning on the NFL's all-time touchdown passing list in a 16-10 victory over the New Orleans Saints. The game, played in Saint-Denis, France, marked the league's first regular-season contest on European soil. Rodgers completed 17 of 25 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown, while kicker Chris Boswell added three field goals. The win extended Pittsburgh's winning streak to three games.
Rodgers' performance came in a game highlighted by defensive stops and special teams plays. The Saints' offense struggled, managing just 10 points on the day. The game's significance was underscored by its location, with fans and players adapting to the unique conditions of playing abroad. The Steelers' defense held firm, limiting New Orleans to minimal scoring opportunities.
This milestone marks a key moment in Rodgers' career, adding to his legacy as one of the NFL's most accomplished quarterbacks. The game also highlighted the growing international reach of the league, with France hosting a regular-season matchup for the first time. The event was part of a broader trend of NFL games expanding beyond traditional American markets, with teams like the Steelers continuing to perform at a high level on the global stage.
