Packers-Vikings: Is That Favre in a No. 12 Jersey?

What makes his performance more significant is how he achieved those stats. Rodgers released a deep bomb right down the middle for 56 yards to a covered Greg Jennings, dropping the jaws of many.

A few plays later on the drive, Aaron, scrambling inside the pocket, squeezed a sinker into fullback Korey Hall’s hands for his first score with the Lambeau attendees roaring.

Rodgers had a chance to pass for his second score on third down, as halftime was approaching but Head Coach Mike McCarthy elected to run down the clock and kick a field goal. With three seconds left in the second quarter, Mason Crosby’s second field-goal attempt was blocked.

He later had another chance at a second score in the third quarter, with a long right-sideline pass to Donald Driver, who went all the way. The play was later called back on an illegal player down field on right guard Tony Moll, stalling the drive afterwards.

With 6:03 left in the fourth quarter, Rodgers scored on a QB sneak, in a drive set up on a 57-yard Ryan Grant run off the right side, finishing up with his first Lambeau Leap.
