Rodgers-Nelson hookup sets Packers' TD mark

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson became the Green Bay Packers' most prolific quarterback-receiver combination in team history with their 58th touchdown pass and catch, surpassing Brett Favre and Antonio Freeman.

Rodgers hit Nelson for a 21-yard catch-and-run during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The all-time record is held by Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison, who hooked up for 112 career touchdowns.

"This is the best that I've ever been around; it's not even close," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said earlier this season of the Rodgers-Nelson connection.
