Entering Sunday, Aaron Rodgers is closing in on yet another historic milestone. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback has amassed 64,805 career passing yards, putting him just 195 yards away from the 65,000-yard mark — a threshold reached by only a handful of players in NFL history. Rodgers currently ranks 5th all-time in passing yards in the Super Bowl era, trailing only the legendary trio of Tom Brady (89,214), Drew Brees (80,358) and Peyton Manning (71,940).
Rodgers’ 2025 campaign has been steady, though not yet statistically explosive. He sits 19th in the league in passing yards this season (1,853), and in his most recent outing finished with 161 yards in a 25–10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Even so, Rodgers has repeatedly proven he can turn it on when the spotlight is brightest — and Week 9 may offer that opportunity.
On Sunday, Rodgers will look to crack the 65,000-yard milestone as the 5–4 Steelers, who sit 1st in the AFC North, meet the third-place Cincinnati Bengals in a critical divisional showdown. With playoff positioning tightening and every yard counting, the stage is set for a meaningful performance from one of the game’s most accomplished passers.
