Ready for an amazing stat about Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers in 2020?
There are many to choose from, but this one may stand above the rest.
Through 13 games, Rodgers has more touchdown passes (39) than JK Scott has punts (38).
It’s true. The Packers have more drives ending in touchdown passes by Rodgers than punts by Scott, although the team’s one blocked punt does even the score at 39 here.
The Packers are the only team in the NFL with as many touchdown passes as punts in 2020.
Rodgers is first in the NFL in touchdown passes, leading Russell Wilson by three and Patrick Mahomes by six. The Packers have punted the seventh-fewest times.
For comparison’s sake, Mahomes has 33 touchdown passes but the Kansas City Chiefs have punted 40 times. Wilson has 36 touchdown passes but the Seattle Seahawks have punted 47 times.
In 2011, the Packers had 51 touchdown passes (including 45 from Rodgers) and 55 punts.
Not surprisingly, the Packers are first in the NFL in passing touchdown percentage (8.7) and third in percentage of drives ending in a score (48.8) in 2020. Also, the Packers are first in the NFL in points per game (31.5) and total touchdowns (52).
