Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 24 of 34 for 202 passing yards and three touchdown passes in their 24-22 win over the Cleveland Browns. Rodgers entered the game tied with Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre for the most touchdown passes in Packers history with 442.

Towards the end of the first quarter, Rodgers threw an 11-yard pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard and broke the touchdown record.

To commemorate the historic moment, the NFL had a sticker placed on the ball that broke the record. However, there was one problem with the sticker: the sticker said 433, not 443.

After the record-breaking catch, Lazard gave the ball to the Packers quarterback. The football will not be going to the Pro Football Hall of Fame or even with the new TD record holder.

Per the broadcast on FOX, the 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback will be sending the record ball to the 11-year-old grandson of Favre, Parker.

The leading NFL announcer team on the network, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman, mentioned during the game:

“Believe it or not, this keepsake and career touchdown pass number 443 is going to Brett Favre’s grandson, Parker, if you can believe that. And if Parker’s anything like Papa, he’ll be out there throwing it in the yard next week.”

This season for the Packers, the three-time All-Pro now has 33 touchdown passes with four interceptions and 3,689 passing yards.
