But in what he has said will be his final NFL season, every touchdown carries a little extra weight for a Pittsburgh team trying to make the most of his last run.\n\nThrough five games this season, Rodgers has thrown for 1,234 yards, 10 touchdowns and four interceptions, numbers that suggest he still has plenty left even as the finish line approaches. The Steelers will need more of that production if they hope to complete the comeback against Tampa Bay and keep building on a season defined by Rodgers' farewell tour.","published_at":"2026-10-19T06:03:42.538373+00:00","source_count":3,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers' TD throw has Steelers within 16-10 of Bucs","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-rodgers-td-throw-steelers-193608128.html"},{"outlet":"Pro Football Talk","publisher":"NBC Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers' TD throw has Steelers within 16-10 of Bucs","url":"https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/aaron-rodgers-td-throw-has-steelers-within-16-10-of-bucs"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Aaron Rodgers is ‘like the Simon Cowell’ of the Steelers with his famed receiver quizzes","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/17/sports/aaron-rodgers-goes-simon-cowell-with-steelers-receiver-quizzes/"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers Reaches Major NFL Record in Win over Bucs","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-rodgers-reaches-major-nfl-210750184.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Aaron Rodgers Ties Peyton Manning on All-Time List With Game-Winning TD Pass","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/aaron-rodgers-ties-peyton-manning-051052920.html"}],"image":{"url":"https://nbcsports.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/18d2bb1/2147483647/strip/false/crop/1920x1080+0+0/resize/1920x1080!/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fhdliveextra-a.akamaihd.net%2FHD%2Fimage_sports%2FNBCU_Sports_Group_-_nbcsports%2F593%2F215%2Fnbc_pftpm_steelersbuccs_261015.jpg","credit":"Pro Football Talk","width":1920},"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
