Aaron Rodgers passes Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger in NFL record book after Week 5 win

Sunday was an eventful day for Aaron Rodgers, whose farewell season is off to a 3-2 start for the Steelers following their win over the Colts.

Not only did Pittsburgh secure a 34-22 win against Indianapolis, but Rodgers made some improvements in the NFL record books, passing both Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning and former Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Rodgers moved past Manning to No. 3 on the career touchdown pass list when he connected with Jaylen Warren on an 80-yard score in the first quarter. Rodgers and Manning had been tied at 579 touchdown passes prior to Sunday.

After the win, Rodgers spoke to what it means to him to move past such a legendary quarterback on an all-time list.

"Anytime you're in the same sentence as Peyton [Manning], that definitely does mean a lot to me," Rodgers told CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson, adding with a smile that he thinks he "earned that one" because he took a shot on the pass.
