The update

Stafford threw a third-quarter touchdown pass to wide receiver Davante Adams, his 426th career regular-season touchdown. He finished the game with four total touchdowns and 327 passing yards.
Why it matters
Stafford joins an elite group of quarterbacks with 426 or more career touchdown passes. He is now the second player in NFL history to record 25 or more three-touchdown games for multiple franchises. This achievement highlights Stafford’s longevity and consistency at the highest level of professional football.
What to watch
Stafford currently trails only Tom Brady (649), Drew Brees (571), Peyton Manning (539), Aaron Rodgers (528), and Brett Favre (508) on the all-time list. The next quarterback he could surpass is Brett Favre, who holds the fifth spot with 508 touchdown passes.
