Aaron Rodgers Gears Up to Extend His Dominance Over the Vikings: Can He Make History?

Aaron Rodgers is gearing up for yet another showdown with the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday, marking his 30th career game against a team he knows all too well. The New York Jets quarterback is tied with the Chicago Bears for the most matchups he has faced throughout his illustrious career. In a previous fiery remark, Rodgers boldly declared, "I own them," in reference to his success against the Bears.

With 17 wins out of 29 starts against the Vikings, Rodgers currently shares the record for most victories against this rival with the legendary Brett Favre. The stats speak volumes—Rodgers has accumulated an impressive 7,157 passing yards, thrown for 57 touchdowns, and only 8 interceptions in confrontations with Minnesota. The pinnacle of this rivalry came during the 2012 NFC wild-card round, where Rodgers led the charge with 274 passing yards and a touchdown in a decisive 24-10 playoff victory.

But why does this matchup matter? Historical context reveals an intriguing pattern: Rodgers is not alone in creating a legacy of dominance against specific opponents. Below is a glimpse at other notable quarterbacks who have exhibited remarkable success against a single rival since 2000, each making their mark in NFL history.
