It may have been a game to forget for Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets, but Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings comes with a silver lining for the veteran quarterback.

The Jets trailed throughout Sunday's game, which took place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of the NFL London series, with Rodgers unable to make enough of an impact to lift his team to victory.

Rodgers struggled in the contest, throwing three interceptions on 29-54 passing and 244 yards, with two touchdowns. However, the four-time NFL MVP and future Hall of Famer will have something positive from his trip to London to look back on as he surpassed 60,000 career passing yards during the game.

That makes Rodgers just the ninth player in league history to reach the milestone, alongside legendary names like Tom Brady and Dan Marino.
