With these words, the veteran quarterback aimed to put the loss into perspective and refocus his team on preparing for upcoming games.
Personal milestones amid frustration
Beyond the scoreboard, the night had special significance for Aaron Rodgers on a personal level. The quarterback reached his 508th career touchdown pass. Tying Brett Favre for fourth place on the NFL all-time passing touchdowns list.
This milestone came on a 2-yard pass to DK Metcalf in the second quarter. Cementing Rodgers place among the league’s all-time greats. Rodgers, however, downplayed the achievement, calling it a “longevity” milestone rather than a record to celebrate.

“Many players are involved, including the blockers and the play-callers. Every so often I make special throws that result in touchdowns, but I’ve been playing a long time. And this is a longevity accomplishment,” he said.
Aaron Rodgers sends a message of calm after Steelers Loss

Aaron Rodgers now ties Favre in career passing touchdowns, with Peyton Manning (539), Drew Brees (571), and NFL all-time leader Tom Brady (649) still ahead, reminding everyone that even in defeat, he continues to build a monumental career.
The Steelers next challenge will be crucial, and Aaron Rodgers leadership will be decisive in helping the team regain confidence and stability for the remainder of the season.
