Rodgers set the new franchise mark in his 211th career game and 204th start with the Packers, while it took Favre 253 starts in 255 games to set the original mark.

Rodgers tied the record last weekend against the Baltimore Ravens, and said he texted with Favre after last Sunday’s game.
Favre reportedly told Rodgers to enjoy the ride, which prompted Rodgers — in very Aaron Rodgers fashion — to quote The Office in the last week, taking Andy Bernard’s quip from the series finale: “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”
Rodgers’ future with the team remains uncertain after his dispute with the front office prior to the 2021 season. Rodgers eventually reported to training camp, though, and could end up winning a second straight NFL MVP award.
Rodgers came into the weekend with 30 touchdown passes and just 4 interceptions in 13 games this season.
