Aaron Rodgers officially tied Ben Roethlisberger on Sunday with his 165th career regular-season win as a starting quarterback, an impressive milestone that now places him in a tie for fifth place all-time. This epic accomplishment came by beating the Bengals, proving Rodgers still has that clutch factor we all know so well.
Rodgers Hits Elite Company, One Team At A Time
Yeah, 165 wins is a massive number. For Ben Roethlisberger, that entire total came during his run with the Steelers. But Rodgers? He’s spread the wealth a bit, snagging 147 wins with the Packers, 12 with the Steelers, and a cool six with the Jets. It’s a career resume that speaks for itself, full of incredible moments and plenty of W’s. You gotta respect that kind of longevity and success across different squads.
The Win Record That Might Stand Forever
Now, as huge as 165 wins is, it puts Rodgers in perspective against the absolute G.O.A.T. of QB wins: Tom Brady. Brady hung up his cleats with a mind-boggling 251 career wins, 219 of those with the Patriots and 32 with the Buccaneers. Think about that: you could take Rodgers’ incredible career, tack on five perfect 17-0 seasons, and he’d *still* be one win shy of Brady’s total. That’s just wild, man. It makes you wonder if anyone will ever even get close to that record.
Just below Brady, Brett Favre and Peyton Manning are locked up in second place with 186 wins each. Favre got his with 160 starts for the Packers, 17 with the Vikings, and nine with the Jets. Manning stacked 141 wins with the Colts and 45 with the Broncos. Right above Rodgers on the all-time list is Drew Brees at No. 4, with 172 career victories, coming from 142 wins with the Saints and 30 with the Chargers. Rodgers definitely has a real shot at passing Brees, which would push him even further up the list of all-time greats. What a career this guy is having.
