More than just return to the field, Rodgers led the Packers to the biggest comeback victory in the team’s history, as they overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit to win 24-23.
With just more than nine minutes remaining before half-time, Rodgers went down and clutched his left leg after Bears defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris fell on him during a sack.
After spending a few minutes in the medical tent, Rodgers left the field on a cart.
While Packers fans feared the worst, Rodgers surprised almost everyone by coming out on the sideline for the second half. The Lambeau Field crowd let out a huge roar as he walked out on the field.
Although noticeably favouring his left leg at times in the second half, Rodgers completed 17-of-23 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns to key the improbable victory.
Afterward, Rodgers told NBC he had hurt his knee on that first-half sack, but he guaranteed he would play next week.
