Patrick Mahomes currently has the second-most playoff touchdown passes in NFL history, with 46. But Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could pull ahead of Mahomes on Monday night.

Rodgers has thrown 45 touchdown passes in the playoffs tied for third all time with Joe Montana. If Rodgers throws a touchdown against the Texans, he will tie Mahomes, and if he throws two, he will move ahead of Mahomes. If the Steelers win and Rodgers’ playoff streak continues, he has a chance to pass Mahomes on the all-time playoff touchdowns list.
Given that Rodgers is 42 and Mahomes is 30, when both are retired, Mahomes will likely have many more playoff touchdown passes than Rodgers. And Mahomes might even have a chance to threaten Brady’s record.
But this year, while Mahomes is home recovering from knee surgery and Rodgers is in the playoffs, it may be Rodgers’ chance to surpass Mahomes, and second only to Brady, on the career playoff touchdown passes list.
