Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love is sitting on 99 career touchdown passes through 65 career games and 56 career starts.
The Packers play the New England Patriots on Sunday afternoon, providing an opportunity for Love to hit 100 in his 57th career start.
"100th career touchdown pass, that would be pretty cool. Cool stat," Love said Wednesday. "Definitely excited to get that 100th touchdown pass and who it will go to."
Love would become the fifth Packers quarterback in team history to get to 100 career touchdown passes, and he would continue a tradition of Packers quarterbacks getting there early in their decorated careers.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre threw his 100th career touchdown pass to running back Edgar Bennett in a win
over the Cincinnati Bengals on Dec. 3, 1995. It was his 62nd career start and 66th career game overall.
Future Pro Football Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers threw his 100th career touchdown pass to receiver James Jones in a win over the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 9, 2011. It was his 55th career start and 59th career game overall.
Love is in his fourth season as the Packers starter. Favre and Rodgers were both in Year 4 as starters when they hit 100 touchdown passes.
Here's Favre's 100th touchdown pass:
Here's Rodgers' 100th career touchdown pass:
Jones famously threw Rodgers' milestone touchdown -- which gave the Packers a lead in the third quarter of a primetime game in Atlanta -- into the stands.
The Packers will make sure no one throws Love's 100th touchdown into the stands.
"We were just talking about that," Love said. "We'll definitely have to let them know. You just don't know who is going to catch it. You don't know where the ball is going to go. Definitely try to make sure guys don't throw the ball in the stands and we can get it back."
But who will catch the milestone touchdown pass?
Five players have caught touchdown passes from Love this season: Christian Watson (6), Matthew Golden (4), Tucker Kraft (3), Josh Jacobs (2) and MarShawn Lloyd (1).
