Davante Adams caught a 50-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers on the first possession of the second half. This gave Rodgers enough yards to pass John Elway for 10th place on the NFL’s all-time passing yards list.
Rodgers opened the night with 51,378 yards, with Elway at 51,475. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is ninth on the list with 56,231 passing yards. Tom Brady (79,859) approaches Drew Brees (80,358) for the all-time lead.
Rodgers has 157 passing yards tonight.
He threw his 415th career touchdown pass three games later on a 22-yard laser to Robert Tonyan. It was Rodgers’ third touchdown of the night.
Tonyan’s score gave the Packers their first lead at 21-17.
Lions cornerback Ifetu Melifonwu was injured during Adams’ long reception and it is doubtful he will return with a thigh injury.
