Aaron Rodgers and His Feats Against the Vikings

Aaron Rodgers, the current quarterback for the New York Jets, is about to play his 30th game against the Vikings. This equals the number of matches he’s had against another of his regular opponents, the Chicago Bears. Rodgers famously declared his ownership of the Bears back in 2021. Out of the 29 games he’s played so far against the Vikings, Rodgers has been victorious in 17, matching Brett Favre’s record. Rodgers’ performance against the Vikings includes an impressive tally of 7,157 yards, 57 touchdowns and 8 interceptions. In their single playoff face-off in the 2012 NFC wild-card round, Rodgers contributed 274 passing yards and one touchdown to his team’s 24-10 win.

Quarterbacks’ Regular-Season Dominance Over One Opponent Since 2000

Historically, several quarterbacks have shown consistent success over a particular opponent. This article takes a brief look at some of those individual performances since 2000, considering a minimum of 15 games played.

Tom Brady Against the Buffalo Bills

Tom Brady’s record against the Buffalo Bills is remarkable, with a win rate of .917. The last win against the Bills happened while Brady was with the Buccaneers. Over 20 seasons, Brady has turned games against the Bills into almost predictable victories. His win rate is only second to Roger Staubach of the Dallas Cowboys, who boasted a win rate of .941 against the New York Giants. Brady’s 33 wins are the most by any quarterback against a single opponent in a regular season. Brady’s record against the Bills includes 9,032 yards, 72 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.

Ben Roethlisberger Versus the Cleveland Browns

Ben Roethlisberger has a stellar record against the Cleveland Browns with a win rate of .911. His career against the Browns started with a 10-0 winning streak. Despite a loss in 2009, Roethlisberger stayed undefeated against the Browns in the regular season for the rest of his career. The Steelers did, however, suffer a loss against the Browns in the 2020 playoffs.

Dak Prescott’s Record Against the New York Giants

Dak Prescott, after losing his first two games against the Giants, has since been on a winning streak. This season has seen the streak continue, with Prescott’s 13 straight wins against New York tying for the second-longest winning streak by a quarterback against a single opponent since 1950. The record for the longest streak is held by Miami’s Bob Griese with 17 wins against the Bills.

Domination in NFL: Flacco and Manning’s Unforgettable Performances

Joe Flacco’s Triumph Over Cleveland Browns

Despite the mixed feelings held by the Cleveland fans due to some unpleasant past experiences, Joe Flacco brought about a surprising turn of events leading up to the 2023 playoffs. His impressive record of 18 wins and only 3 losses, translating to an .857 win percentage, speaks volumes about his performance. Much like Roethlisberger, Flacco started strong against the Browns, going undefeated in his first 11 matches.

His departure from the AFC North to join the Jets in 2022 didn’t bring any respite for the Cleveland fans. Flacco carried on his winning streak, throwing for 307 yards and securing four touchdowns in a match against the Browns in the same year.

Peyton Manning’s Record-Setting Performances Against Houston Texans

When we talk about an impeccable performance against the Houston Texans, Peyton Manning certainly comes to the forefront. With a record of 17 wins and 3 losses, which results in a win percentage of .850, Manning has certainly made his mark. Whether he was playing for the Indianapolis Colts or the Denver Broncos, his success against the Texans has been consistent. He has thrown for an impressive total of 5,853 yards with a remarkable touchdown-interception ratio of 48 to eight.

Manning’s highlights include two 400-yard passing games, one of which saw him notch up 433 yards in 2010 – the sixth highest in his career. Despite losing to the Texans in two consecutive matches between 2010 and 2012, Manning bounced back to win the last eight matches. Notably, his 2013 game against Houston saw him set the single-season record for the most touchdowns.
