The only thing Aaron Rodgers at age 42 wants to do less than take a hit is make a tackle. Via @WerderEdNFL on X

What happened: Aaron Rodgers registered the first tackle of his NFL career. The quarterback was credited with a defensive stop during his 22nd professional season.

Why it matters: The play marks an unusual milestone for the veteran signal-caller. Quarterbacks rarely record defensive statistics unless responding to a giveaway.

By the numbers: Pro Football Reference had not credited the 42-year-old with a single tackle across the first 21 years of his career.

What to watch: The veteran will look to avoid further defensive situations as the regular season continues.
