We’re continuing our countdown of the Greatest Games of the Favre-Rodgers era, and today we get our first couple playoff victories, as well as a couple regular season classics.

The march on toward number on continues. Here we go!

#35 to #31

35. Seattle Seahawks at Green Bay Packers, 2007-2008 Divisional Playoffs (GB 42, SEA 20)

Overall score: 6.80/10 (35/55)

Significance: 6.37/10 (28/55)

Entertainment value: 7.84/10 (26/55)

Intensity: 6.18/10 (45/55)

This game started out rough, with a couple Ryan Grant fumbles. But the Packers trusted in Grant, who came on in the second half of the 2007 season, and he rewarded them in a big way with a career day. As the snow came down in the second half, viewers got a storybook victory, with Brett Favre besting Mike Holmgren one last time and getting a final win in the green and gold at Lambeau Field.

34. Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers, 2010 (GB 31, MIN 3)

Overall score: 6.83/10 (34/55)

Significance: 6.49/10 (26/55)

Entertainment value: 7.67/10 (30/55)

Intensity: 6.33/10 (44/55)

The year before, Brett Favre made his return to Green Bay amid a very hostile atmosphere and pulled out a tough win over his former team. This year, though, the Favre magic ran out. The Packers utterly dominated the Vikings in a game remembered for the catharsis of finally moving past the former quarterback, as well as a Desmond Bishop interception return for a touchdown.

Entertainment value: 6.89/10 (43/55)

Intensity: 6.96/10 (33/55)

In one of the greatest defensive performances in team history, the Packers held Barry Sanders and the Lions to -4 rushing yards total, as the Packers squeezed by the Lions for a second straight year in the wild card round.

Overall score: 6.94/10 (32/55)

Significance: 5.56/10 (40/55)

Entertainment value: 7.76/10 (27/55)

Intensity: 7.51/10 (27/55)

Mike McCarthy’s return to Lambeau Field, and Aaron Rodgers’ final “Aaron Rodgers-like” performance of his career in Green Bay. The Cowboys came in as big favorites, but the Packers had a surprise: a breakout performance by Christian Watson to couple with a vintage Rodgers game.

31. Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals, 2021 (GB 24, ARZ 21)

Overall score: 7.00 (31/55)

Significance: 5.42/10 (41/55)

Entertainment value: 7.98/10 (22/55)

Intensity: 7.60/10 (24/55)

The Packers were supposed to have no chance in this game. Traveling to undefeated Arizona on a short week without Davante Adams, the Packers were given a snowball’s chance in, well, Arizona to come out with a victory. But a gritty offensive performance, solid defense, and a game-sealing interception from former Cardinal castoff Rasul Douglas resulted in the Packers emerging with a huge victory and putting themselves firmly in the mix of contenders in the NFC.
