Aaron Rodgers Matches Terry Bradshaw With Third Straight 3-TD Game
Rodgers is 21-of-30 for 228 yards and joins Bradshaw as the only Steelers QB with three consecutive three-TD games. The fantasy question: real trend or fluke?
Three straight 3-TD games and a soft QB rank make him cheap.
- 3 straight games with 3+ TD passes, a Steelers rarity
- 21-of-30, 228 yards in the current win over 31-22
- 2026: 999 pass yds, 7 TD, 0 INT in 4 games
- Only 2nd Steelers QB ever to do it, after Bradshaw
- First 3-game 3-TD run since his 2021 MVP year
Aaron Rodgers just did something only one quarterback in Pittsburgh history had ever managed. With his latest multi-touchdown outing, Rodgers became the second Steelers QB to post three straight games with three or more touchdown passes — a club that previously had exactly one member: Terry Bradshaw. On the day, he's sitting at 21-of-30 for 228 yards as Pittsburgh pulls away 31-22 with 6:35 left.
The historical footnote carries extra weight. Bradshaw, now a Fox studio fixture, publicly trashed Rodgers' 2025 signing, calling it a joke and suggesting he go off somewhere to chew bark and whisper to the gods. Rodgers answering that by matching Bradshaw's own franchise mark is the kind of storyline that writes itself. It's also the first time he's strung together three consecutive three-TD games since his 2021 MVP season.
Two of the scores came in the first half: an 80-yard strike to running back Jaylen Warren and a short 1-yard dart to Pat Freiermuth. Warren has been the engine all afternoon — six catches for 87 yards and a touchdown through the air, plus 84 rushing yards and a score on 11 carries. That's a legitimate dual-threat line, and it's the kind of usage fantasy managers have been waiting on.
What The Numbers Say
Here's the gap worth noting. Rodgers ranks just #42 overall in our model (#19 at QB), yet he's thrown 7 touchdowns against zero interceptions across four games in 2026, good for 69 PPR points. His last five games sit a hair below his season average (-2 fantasy points), so this isn't a player running hot on paper — the counting stats are quietly excellent while his name value stays low.
Warren, meanwhile, is our #52 overall and #17 at the position, with 309 rushing yards and 143 receiving yards on 13 catches across four games (56 PPR points) heading in. Today's double-score game is his first visit to the end zone this season, which tells you both how good the ceiling is and how touchdown-dependent his value can be.
The Fantasy Move
Treat Rodgers as a buy-low. A #19 QB rank badly undersells 7 TDs and no picks, and three straight three-touchdown games is a real trend, not noise — if his manager is streaming or chasing names, offer something and pounce. Warren is a trickier hold: his yardage floor is solid but the touchdowns have been scarce until today, so don't overpay chasing this spike. Keep starting him as a flex, bank the production, and let someone else bid up the price.
