by

The Green Bay Packers fell one game short of making Super Bowl LIV, but the team has appeared in five Super Bowls since the inaugural game back in 1967, winning four of them. From Vince Lombardi’s wins in the first two Super Sundays to the heroics of Brett Favre, Desmond Howard and Aaron Rodgers, the Packers have been had their share of great Super Bowl memories.

Here is a look back at the top 10 moments in Super Bowl history for the Packers franchise. These are plays or moments that took place during the Super Bowl that are iconic in Packers and NFL history.

The moments are ranked by their historical significance, how important they were to the game and the players and coaches involved. I have included videos of these moments whenever possible.

10. Super Bowl XLV—Aaron Rodgers finds Greg Jennings for a Critical First Down

The Packers once held a 21-3 lead in Super Bowl XLV, but the Steelers had made it a 28-25 game late in the fourth quarter.

The Packers had the ball and were facing a key third down and 10 at their own 25 with six minutes left in regulation. Green Bay had lost DB Charles Woodson to injury and their defense was struggling to stop the Steelers. Green Bay needed to keep the ball away from the Steelers, score some more points and milk the clock as much as possible.

Rodgers threw a perfect 20-yard strike to wide receiver Greg Jennings who caught the ball on the left hashmark at the Green Bay 45. Jennings was tackled at the Pittsburgh 45, but the Packers drive was alive, and the team was able to keep the ball and keep the clock running.
