The Game Where Rodgers Became THAT GUY! (Packers vs. Lions 2008, Week 2) 

7:41 left in the 4th quarter: GB-24 DET-25 End of game: GB-48 DET-25 Gotta love it 😂😂

As a Packers fan I’m heartbroken that the Rodgers era ended with only 1 ring, but it was some of the most exciting football to watch the last 15 years or so…

The 2008 Lions making an NFL Throwback video is the last thing I expected but here we are.

Man, I loved Jones, Jennings, Nelson, and Driver. Nelson was my favorite

The Charles Woodson Game

The game in which Rodgers became HIM 😤

This is the game where Jon Kitna got heat for not even trying to stop the defender on his last INT. He simply turned his back and started walking towards the sidelines when he could have tried to chase him down. You can even see it in the broadcast if you pause at the 12:00 mark. I remember at the time on NFL Network Marshall Faulk said the Lions should remove the "Captain" patch from his jersey.

Bro Megatron deserved better

As a Detroit native, I’m glad we have postseason talk now, I never would have thought we would ever come back from a season like 2008.

As a Lions fan, thank god he's finally leaving our division lol

The 2008 Lions Bruh

As a Packers fan I miss this day was watching football with my dad and when I got home partied hard and enjoyed the games I wish I could go back to this day

What I remember the most is the Packers vs Steelers Super Bowl in 2011. I enjoyed every bit of it. My girlfriend at the time called it the Peelers vs Stackers game lol

Fun fact, that was Jordy Nelson’s first career TD

Thanks for the video NFL Throwback! Aaron Rodgers is leaving Green Bay so I’m sure Lions, Vikings, and Bears fans are happy about it.

As an NFL fan, Rodgers is, by far, the most talented QB I've ever watched. He's made so many amazing throws and he makes them all look so effortless. As a Lions fan - *#@* Aaron Rodgers with a rusty barbed wire baseball bat.

@3:33 Jordy Nelson 1st Career Receiving TD

A little shoutout to Charles Woodson and how great he was with the Packers with 2 ints at the end of the game. One covering Calvin Johnson, he was one of the best DB's to play the game.

Jordan love better be 3 in a row for elite quarterbacks

So crazy. This was my very first NFL game I'd ever been to! As a Lions fan, I can only tip my hat to Aaron Rodgers, I remember he seemed invincible even though I think they only finished 6-10 that year, little did I know that was going to be 0-16 for Detroit! It's so cool seeing this! Donald Driver caught that touchdown and handed it to a little kid sitting two seats down from me and my Dad. There were drunk Packers fans yelling at him for not throwing it at them and they started yelling at the kid, Driver was making sure he hung on to it, even though I was and still am a Lions fan, I was always a fan of his after that! Pretty cool random moment at 17 with my Dad I'll never forget!! Also Kitna's last game ever started for Detroit lol Thank you so much for posting this!!

5:55, underrated play

Green Bay scores 24 points in 3 and a half quarters, then scores 24 more points in 3 and a half minutes!!!!! Insane!!!

The game where Aaron Rodgers became more famous!

I don’t know what the hell the NFC North did to be cursed with 2 HOF QBs in their division for almost three decades but damn bro.

Showing a game where rodgers persevered ❌ Showing a game where rodgers beat on an 0-16 Lions roster ✅

With Aaron Rodgers potentially leaving the NFC North, it opens the door for the Lions and the bears to win the division

@ 3:34 when Rodgers hit that TD to Jordy Nelson, I remember saying to my Dad, "yup, at some point we are definitely going to the Superbowl with Rodgers at Quarterback." Only took him two more years. Top bad he couldn't have gotten a couple more.

This game was like a preview of how the Packers would win the Super Bowl 2 seasons later. All the way down to the Nick Collins pick 6 celebration

Prime Rodgers was so different

This Video Is Absolutely Marvelous NFL Throwback 🏈🏉 Well Done ✅ And Keep Up The Good Work 👍.

Yup, the game when Rodgers became the greatest “regular season” quarterback of all-time! Nobody better in the regular season! You want to win a regular season game then Rodgers is your guy and this is the game that he proved he’s ready to win in the regular season!!

Mr. Rodgers Hood sign was hilarious 😂

Quite the game. Rodgers had a great game. Jordy Nelson's first touchdown in his career. Charles Woodson with two INTs,, one a pick-six. Nick Collins with a pick-six in his breakthrough season. And is it me, or when the Lions took the lead that turned out to be their last gasp for the season because not only did they self-destruct after that but they did nothing the rest of the season.

Matt Vasgersian doing NFL. That’s a rarity nowadays!

I wish that NFL games were back being like this

The 0-16 lions

Rodgers era in Packers started against Lions, ended against the Lions

Wasn’t Joe Barry the Lions DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR that 2008 season?

This Lions team was so devoid of talent minus Calvin Johnson. All those years of poor drafts under the direction of Matt Millen definitely took their toll.

Calvin Johnson and Detroit went 0-16 😆

Matt Vasgershin (I know I spelled his last name wrong) doing football just seems interesting but I think he is a good play by play for it

You mean the game where Calvin Johnson became Megatron

And Mason Crosby carries on….

I miss this era of football so much! It not even the same game.. just turn it into flag football

Seems kinda cheap to show highlights featuring the 2008 Detroit Lions lol

Eminem 1999: Detroit, what? Lions 2008: Detroit winless

NFL THROWBACK where do you get these videos/clips

When Jon Kitna’s career officially ended and Rodgers started

Aaron Rodgers is going to the Jets

Aaron Rodgers 1st Career GW Drive and 1st Career 4th Quarter CB in a Blowout Win when the 4th Quarter Started the Packers Were up 24-9 and Won 48-25 in a Crazy 4th Quarter with 2 Defensive TD By Charles Woodson and Nick Collins

15 years later…

15 Years Ago

Good luck Arron with the jets. They got better receivers

Boys had the lead with 5:21 left in the 4th QT and somehow lost 48-25 💀😭😭

The Lions went 0-16 that year. Generally beating the Lions isn't saying much.

Is that Matt Vasgersian on the call?

The main thing this video showed me was Calvin was always that guy

how come 2008 starting to look like the 90s 😂😂 💀

The game that Aaron Rodgers really truly became HIM!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯💯🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Bro im a packers fan pray they dont suck anymore

0-16 damn I know coach got fired

Last Time When The Green Bay Packers Trade A Starting Quarterback To The N.Y. Jets

Lions had the lead in this game at one point but they lose this game in Classic Detroit Lions style by throwing 3 picks including 2 that became a pick 6 no surprise that this was the 2nd of many losses that they had in 2008

calvin johnson carried and is the reason why this was posted

Wow Rodgers became a that guy againts a 0-16 team.

Aaron Rodgers is that dude, but pretty much everyone was against the 08 Lions.

He played great during the first half then it was all defensive plays. Nothing spectacular.

The good ol days where Rodgers was an aspiring legend to prove wrong all the doubts after taking over for Farve. Unfortunately he became a product of the media and spotlight that makes him look like an egotistical prick for the past few years

still waiting on Love. packers are 2-5 right now

I forgot how bad Kitna was.

FTP

Just for anyone wondering why the Lions defense is so trash in this one: The Packers current D Coordinator is the Lions DC this game.
