Aaron Rodgers throws three touchdowns as Steelers beat Colts on Oct. 10
Aaron Rodgers threw three touchdown passes on Sunday, October 10, 2026, as the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Indianapolis Colts 34‑22, showing the 42‑year‑old still has plenty of football left.
The win came after Rodgers completed 11 straight passes early and finished with 235 yards, three scores and no turnovers, a stark contrast to his early‑season struggles. His third‑quarter strike to Pat Freiermuth sealed the victory and pushed his career total past Peyton Manning for third place in all‑time touchdown passes, including postseason, behind only Tom Brady and Drew Brees.
Rodgers also recorded his 166th regular‑season win, overtaking Ben Roethlisberger for fifth‑all‑time, a milestone made sweeter by the fact it occurred in a Steelers uniform. The team’s offense was bolstered by a spectacular 80‑yard touchdown reception by running back Jaylen Warren, who added 188 yards from scrimmage and a 50‑yard rushing score.
Beyond the Steelers, Sunday’s Week 5 slate produced several notable storylines. Jacksonville head coach Liam Coen faced criticism for aggressive fourth‑down calls that ultimately cost his team, while his special‑teams unit delivered a game‑changing kick return. New England’s young quarterback Drake Maye rebounded with 374 passing yards, four touchdowns and a rushing score, ending his early‑season turnover streak. The Miami Dolphins continued to struggle, registering a season‑high 24 points in a loss that highlighted ongoing offensive woes. Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers survived a sloppy contest against the Seahawks, winning 32‑29 despite seven combined turnovers.
With the Steelers now 3‑2 and sitting a game behind the 4‑1 Ravens in the AFC North, Pittsburgh travels to Tampa Bay for Week 6, followed by a high‑profile matchup in Paris against the New Orleans Saints. Rodgers’ recent resurgence will be a key factor as the team seeks to capitalize on its momentum and solidify a playoff push."
