Back in 2015, Aaron Rodgers pulled off the Miracle in Motown 👑 GBvsDET – Sunday 4:25pm ET on FOX/FOX One Stream on @NFL Via @NFL on X

What happened: The NFL highlighted Aaron Rodgers' 2015 comeback win over Detroit after trailing by 20 points at Ford Field. That divisional victory remains a benchmark moment in the rivalry ahead of this weekend's 2026 regular-season meeting.

Why it matters: The look back underscores Rodgers' long history in the NFC North even as the 42-year-old veteran plays out his final NFL season with Pittsburgh. His Packers tenure out of California also featured erasing a 20-point deficit in the 2018 season opener.

By the numbers: Per ESPN (as of Sept. 29, 2026), Rodgers completed 327 of 498 passes for 3,322 yards, 24 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions across 16 games for the Steelers in the 2025 season.
