Steelers’ Aaron Rodgers ties Tom Brady’s NFL record for spotless 4-TD games image

Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. No matter how you feel about him, that's hard to argue.

And in his Pittsburgh Steelers debut, Rodgers tied the G.O.A.T. with a cool record.

Rodgers was pretty much spotless on Sunday against the New York Jets, his former team. He threw four touchdowns in an epic 34-32 win.

Just as importantly in a game that New York's offense could hardly be stopped, Rodgers didn't throw an interception.

It marked the 28th career game for Rodgers with at least four TD passes along with no interceptions.

That's the same amount Brady had. According to the NFL RedZone channel, that's the No. 1 spot on that list.

Drew Brees was a couple behind, as was Peyton Manning.

But now it's the 41-year old Rodgers hanging atop the list with the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend.

Brady played until he was 45, which helped him polish off such a feat.

Rodgers doesn't seem likely to spend four more years in the NFL. In the offseason, he at least hinted a bit that this could be his final season.

If it's the last dance, Rodgers started it in style.

He was sacked on his first snap Sunday, but from then on, he was sharp and precise and simply very, very good.

The Steelers will take a Brady-like performance from Rodgers anytime.
