It did not take long for Aaron Rodgers to make history. He took over the record in the first quarter of the game. With 5:18 remaining on the clock, the Packers were 6 points down. They needed a way back into the game. Rodgers was on the attack, and he found the wide receiver, Allen Lazard. He connected with Lazard, who carried the ball to an 11-yard touchdown. This was Aaron Rodgers’ 443rd TD pass for the Packers. He has set a new franchise record. 

Brett Favre’s special request for Rodgers

Brett Favre has always been there for Aaron Rodgers. Even after retiring from professional football, Favre has always been like a mentor for Rodgers. Brett was rooting for Aaron to break his record. After Rodgers achieved the incredible feat, Favre was one of the first people to congratulate him.

Former Packers quarterback recorded a video for Rodgers. In the video, he said, “A12, congratulations, man on passing my touchdown record,” then Favre made a special request, “I have one request, go get us another Super Bowl. Congrats.” 

Brett Favre has motivated Rodgers and the Packers to bring home another Super Bowl. The last time they won the Super Bowl was in 2011. This season, they have a good squad, and they can win it all. However, would they?
