Aaron Rodgers Eyes 13-0 TD-INT Mark vs Browns, Passing Brady and Mahomes

2 articles · Updated · CBS Sports · Oct 1

Summary

  • Two touchdown passes without an interception Thursday in Cleveland would give Aaron Rodgers the NFL record for most TDs against one opponent without a pick.
  • Rodgers enters the game at 11-0 against the Browns in that category, tied for third all-time with Drew Bledsoe and one behind Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes at 12-0.
  • Five career meetings with Cleveland have produced a 4-1 record for Rodgers, though his most recent matchup last December was a 13-6 loss with no touchdown passes.
  • Week 8 brings another Steelers-Browns meeting, giving Rodgers a chance to extend the mark if he sets it, while Mahomes cannot add to his total against Pittsburgh until 2027.
  • The game also carries immediate stakes for Pittsburgh: a win would give the Steelers at least a share of first place in the AFC North, while they try to end an 0-9 run in Thursday divisional road games since 1980.
