EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Aaron Rodgers became the fifth player in NFL history to throw 500 regular-season touchdown passes. He accomplished the feat in the second quarter of the New York Jets' 32-20 victory over the Miami Dolphins. On first-and-goal from the 5, Rodgers dropped back and then ran forward in the pocket to buy some time before zipping a pass to Tyler Conklin in the end zone to give the Jets a 7-6 lead with 7:57 left before halftime. Rodgers joined Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Peyton Manning and Brett Favre as the only players to reach the milestone. He threw four TD passes in the victory to give him 503.
