    Despite Aaron Rodgers being with the New York Jets for a year now, his Achilles injury in his Jets debut in 2023 means he still has yet to complete a game for the New York based franchise. However, over the course of his illustrious career thus far, Rodgers has played some lights-out football for the Green Bay Packers.

    Having spent the first 18 seasons of his career in Green Bay, Rodgers played in 230 games for the Packers and started 223 of them during the regular season. He also featured in 21 postseason games. From the 240-odd games Rodgers has played in the Packers uniform, we will take a look at five of his best performances to date.

    5. Sept. 15, 2013 – Green Bay 38, Washington 20

    Rodgers’ best game in the NFL in terms of most passing yards came in this 2013 matchup against the Washington Redskins. He threw for a career-best 480 yards with an 80.9 percent completion rate as he completed 34 of 42 passes.

    Rodgers had four passing touchdowns in the game with no interceptions and a passer rating of 146. Unfortunately, it was early in the season, and an injury to Rodgers derailed what could have been another fine year for him.

    4. 2010 NFC Divisional Round – Green Bay 48, Atlanta 21

    If you want to talk about a complete performance from a quarterback, look no further than this 2010 NFC Divisional Round game against the Atlanta Falcons. Rodgers completed a magnificent 31 passes from 36 attempts for 366 passing yards. He set Packers playoff records for both completions and completion percentage (86.1 percent) in the win.

    Rodgers had a total of four touchdowns in the game, with three in the air and one rushing score. He finished the game with an incredible 136.8 passer rating. Interestingly, the Packers never had to punt in the entire game as Green Bay scored six touchdowns and two field goals.

    3. Nov. 9, 2014 – Green Bay 55, Chicago 14

    When speaking about some of Rodgers’ finest performances, this November 2014 game against the Bears has to be in the mix.

    Rodgers and Green Bay came into the game firing on all cylinders, and by halftime. the game was essentially over.

    The Packers went into the half up 42-0 thanks to Rodgers throwing six touchdown passes, tying the record set by Daryle Lamonica of Oakland. Sitting on the bench for most of the second half, Rodgers finished the game with 315 passing yards and a passer rating of 145.8.

    2. Oct. 20, 2019 – Green Bay 42, Oakland 24

    This 2019 matchup between the Packers and the Raiders is quite possibly the best game Rodgers has played as far as a complete performance is concerned. The California native completed 25 of 31 passes and had five passing touchdowns with no interceptions.

    Throwing for 429 yards (which is the fourth-most of his career thus far), Rodgers finished the contest with a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

    1. Super Bowl XLV – Green Bay 31, Pittsburgh 25

    Rodgers has been a part of several high-profile games. He has also had countless stellar performances, but when it comes to his best showing, the Super Bowl XLV victory over the Steelers takes the cake.

    Rodgers could not put a foot wrong in his first Super Bowl appearance as he threw for 304 yards and 3 passing touchdowns while giving up no interceptions.

    His 24 completions out of 39 attempts brought his passer rating down to 111.5, but most of those incompletions were drops by his receivers. In any case, Aaron Rodgers’ MVP performance earned him his first and only ring to date which is why this game has the most importance attached to it.
