Pass to Aaron Rodgers touchdown, times 46.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback set a single-season career record – and a franchise record – with his 46 touchdown pass in the second quarter on Sunday against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field.
And credit to Rodgers for recognizing what was coming.
The Bears attacked cornerback Duke Shelley, telling Rodgers that he needed to get rid of the ball quickly. With Marquez Valdes-Scantling in the right slot against linebacker Danny Trevathan, it was an easy mismatch: one of the NFL’s fastest receivers against a linebacker.
The result was an untouched 72-yard touchdown.
Rodgers has two touchdown passes over 70 yards this season – both for Valdes-Scantling. The other was a 78 yard against the Jaguars in Week 10. It is the first time Rodgers has had multiple passes for a 70 yard touchdown since 2014, when he was three.
