Aaron Rodgers reached 165 regular-season victories as a starting quarterback with Pittsburgh's 30-27 win over Cincinnati on September 27. ProFootballTalk reported Wednesday that he had drawn level with Ben Roethlisberger for fifth on the NFL's career list.
The Steelers' official biography records 163 wins through the end of 2025. Their current roster statistics show Rodgers started each of this season's first three games, and their schedule records victories over Atlanta and Cincinnati around a loss at New England. Those two wins bring his total to 165.
Rodgers threw three touchdown passes in the game that brought him to the milestone. Rodgers completed 19 of 34 attempts for 292 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, according to Pittsburgh's official recap. Roman Wilson, Ben Skowronek and DK Metcalf caught his scoring passes.

Pittsburgh still needed a late defensive stop to preserve the result. Derrick Harmon stripped Joe Burrow with 44 seconds left, and Sebastian Joseph-Day recovered the fumble. The Steelers improved to 2-1. Read the full Bengals-Steelers recap.
Rodgers' next scheduled opportunity comes Thursday, October 1, at Cleveland. The Steelers list kickoff for 8:15 p.m. Eastern on Prime Video. That game has yet to be played; the 165-win total reflects Sunday's Cincinnati result.
