Pittsburgh Steelers legend Ben Roethlisberger might own Cleveland — but Aaron Rodgers is on the verge of taking his place among the all-time passing yards leaders, which could happen as early as the Week 6 matchup against the Browns.
On the cusp of making history, Rodgers needs 351 passing yards against the Browns to usurp Big Ben’s No. 5 spot of 64,088 yards. Should Rodgers fail to reach the milestone, doing so in Week 7 seems more realistic — a feat even Roethlisberger acknowledged was inevitable.

“Records are meant to be broken,” Big Ben said back in June.
Rodgers also surpassed his Packers predecessor, Brett Favre, for the No. 4 spot in all-time passing touchdowns in Week 3 against the New England Patriots — throwing his 509th touchdown pass to Steelers wideout DK Metcalf.
While Roethlisberger’s place among the top five all-time passing yards leaders will soon cease to be — perhaps as early as Week 6 against Cleveland — there’s no replacing the 18 years of excellence he brought to the great city of Pittsburgh.
