EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Playing in perhaps the final game of his NFL career, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers added another milestone to his list of career accomplishments.
The future Hall of Famer threw his 500th career touchdown in Sunday's season finale against the Miami Dolphins, becoming only the fifth player in NFL history to reach the plateau.
Rodgers, 41, joined Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539) and former teammate Brett Favre (508) on the 500 list.
Rodgers did it on a 5-yard pass to tight end Tyler Conklin, giving the Jets a 7-6 lead with 7:57 left in the second quarter.
