Sunday night marked Aaron Rodgers’ ninth time starting the final game of the regular season. In his previous eight, the superstar quarterback completed 70% of his passes and averaged 280 passing yards and two touchdowns.
With an NFC North title on the line, Rodgers exceeded even his lofty expectations. Completing 27-of-39 passes for 300 yards, Rodgers tossed his 37th, 38th, 39th and 40th passing touchdowns of the season. Oh — and Sunday night marked the quarterback’s seventh straight game without an interception.
Here’s how the Packers took home the NFC North title.
