Aaron Rodgers hoped to catch milestone touchdown pass No. 500 in a New York Jets win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon, but he got the complete opposite result.

Rodgers was sacked four times and threw two interceptions as Buffalo beat New York 40-14. It was Tyrod Taylor who threw two touchdown passes in the Jets’ loss.

Instead of reaching the 500-touchdown plateau, Rodgers set a somewhat negative record. He became the most sacked quarterback in NFL history. He was sacked 568 times in 247 career games – three more than Tom Brady, who was sacked 565 times in his career. Russell Wilson is also right there with 556 sacks.

Fran Tarkenton played before the NFL started counting sacks. The statistics only became official in 1982. Football researchers began counting sacks before the statistic became official, and Fran Tarkenton is considered the holder of the unofficial record.

Rodgers could very well catch Tarkenton’s record in the Jets’ final game of the 2024 season. New York will welcome the Miami Dolphins to East Rutherford, New Jersey next week.

The Jets quarterback has been sacked 37 times this season. He led the league twice in breaks in his career – both times with the Green Bay Packers.

He was sacked 51 times in 2012. In 2010, he was fired 50 times.
