Aaron Rodgers will never forget this…

“It was really special,” Rodgers said. “And the (video) tribute afterwards, man, that was really cool. To see from the first touchdown to Greg (Jennings), on down the line, some of the memorable ones over the years and then to get a message from Favre, definitely got me a little teary-eyed on the bench.

“It’s a moment I’ll never forget, for sure, and I’m thankful for Favre’s message, the response from the guys and the crowd was obviously very special.”

It’s been a season filled with countless records and accolades for Rodgers, who’s the only player in team history to both make 10 Pro Bowl teams and play 17 seasons for the organization.

Through it all, Rodgers has aimed to stay “100% present” of what each and every one of those milestones means – like last week’s 31-30 win over Baltimore that clinched the NFC North division title for the third year in a row.

Rodgers’ teammates have followed suit, especially as it relates to the celebrated TD record. Lazard referred to it as the “elephant in the room” with the receivers this week, with everyone understanding what that mark represented.

Once he got the ball in his hand, Lazard let his instincts take over. It wasn’t until stumbling back to his feet after laying out for the touchdown that it hit the third-year receiver.

“My reaction was just like, ‘Oh, (shoot), I caught it,'” Lazard said. “Seeing his picture up there with the ‘443’ and then I was just thinking about my journey, that this dude’s thrown ‘443’ touchdowns and I think I have maybe 12 or something like that total here in the past three years. Just to be part of his legacy, to be part of this organization. It was a huge moment of gratitude, for me and for everyone else as well.”

After the touchdown, Rodgers’ mindset quickly flipped to the next record he was closing in on – his 66th touchdown pass to All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, which would move the duo past Rodgers and Jordy Nelson for most passing touchdowns between a quarterback and receiver in franchise history.
