Rodgers Seeking Mark for Most Passing Yards Through 100 Starts

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers needs 293 passing yards in Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons to surpass Tony Romo's record for most passing yards through the first 100 starts of a career, per ESPN Stats & Info.

Rodgers has 27,522 career passing yards through 106 games, but he made seven appearances off the bench from 2005 to 2007, while Brett Favre was still the Packers' starting quarterback. Rodgers compiled 329 passing yards in those seven games, leaving him with 27,193 in the 99 games he's started.

Romo recorded 27,485 passing yards through the first 100 starts of his career, with another 362 yards in games he did not start. As the Cowboys' former holder for field goals, Romo is credited with 28 NFL appearances in which he didn't get the start, even though he attempted a pass in only two of those games.

Averaging 274.7 passing yards per start to this point in his career, Rodgers is a decent bet to break Romo's record Monday night, as the Falcons are allowing an NFL-high 284.9 passing yards per game.

Rodgers is averaging 277.1 passing yards this season, putting him just a smidgen ahead of his career-long mark.

More impressively, he owns a 32-3 touchdown-to-interception ratio through 12 games, having last thrown a pick in Week 8 against the New Orleans Saints.
