Aaron Rodgers Ties NFL Record with 6 1st-Half Touchdowns vs. Bears

Aaron Rodgers saw how much fun Ben Roethlisberger was having the past two weeks and decided he wanted to join the six-touchdown club, too.

Only he didn't want to wait an entire game to do it.

Rodgers surgically picked apart a deflated Chicago Bears defense on national television Sunday night, throwing for 315 yards and six touchdowns in the 55-14 blowout victory. What's more, all of his production came in the first half. CBS Sports' Josh Katzowitz put the performance into perspective:

It's obviously a rare feat, as ESPN's Jason Wilde noted:

Leading Green Bay to a 42-0 lead after 30 minutes, Rodgers had about as many touchdowns as incompletions (seven). He found tight ends Brandon Bostick and Andrew Quarless for a couple of short scores, connected deep with a wide-open Jordy Nelson twice, dumped a screen pass that Eddie Lacy took to the house and finished the half with a little help from Randall Cobb.

Take a look at the record-setting onslaught of touchdown passes:

With a 42-point lead and no reason for the Packers to risk their starters, Rodgers came up short of the single-game passing record, as he was removed from the game early in the second half.

Still, there was enough production for him to happy with his night. Heck, there was probably enough production for him to be happy with his entire month of November.
