Aaron Rodgers Celebrates Christmas by Helping Packers Defeat Browns

Christmas was a big day for everyone, but Aaron Rodgers had an extra reason to celebrate this holiday season. He led the Green Bay Packers to another major win against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday and set another major record along the way. It was a close call, but the Packers eventually managed to score a 24-22 victory on Christmas. They intercepted Baker Mayfield on four separate occasions, and the Browns quarterback admitted he was frustrated by his performance. The highlight of the game, however, was Aaron Rodgers’ latest major record, as he managed to surpass Brett Favre to become Green Bay’s all-time leader in touchdown passes. In this game alone, he went 24 of 34 for 202 yards with three touchdown passes, increasing his career total to 445. Rodgers’ latest record brings his career with the Packers full-circle since he spent his first few years with the team as the backup quarterback for Favre. "I got to sit behind a legend for three years and see what greatness looked like firsthand. That's an experience that changed my life forever, and I'm so fortunate to be able to play here at this stadium for these fans and in this great organization for the last 17 years,” Rodgers told Fox Sports.
