Two things you will notice in Aaron Rodgers’ stats over the past eight games: (1) He has not thrown more than two TD passes in a game this season; and (2) He has not had a 300-yard passing game. In fact, the most passing yards he had in a game in 2022 is 255.
It has been 12 games since Rodgers went 3-0-300 (3+ TD passes, 0 interceptions and 300+ yards passing) in a game. In the last two seasons, his back-to-back MVP years, Rodgers had five 3-0-300 games. His last game with these numbers was on December 12 last season against the Bears when he had four TD passes, no interceptions and 341 passing yards in the team’s 45-30 win over the Bears.
Green Bay success in Rodgers’ 3-0-300 games
This week’s game, however, against the Detroit Lions (in Detroit) may be just what the doctor ordered to fix this problem and maybe jumpstart Rodgers’ and the Packers’ season.
Rodgers has 31 career regular season games where he had 3-0-300 stats. Of those 31 contests, ARod has five of them against the Lions, and four of them came when the Packers were the away team versus the Lions. Of his 31 3-0-300 games, 16 have been when the Pack was the road team.
The Packers have had success when Rodgers has a 3-0-300 game. They are 26-5 (.839 winning percentage) in those 31 contests. The team has won 16 of the last 19 games when Rodgers reaches these numbers.
NFL QBs with most career 3-0-300 games
Rodgers’ 31 3-0-300 games ranks third all-time in the NFL. Drew Brees tops the list with 39 games. Here is a look at the 13 NFL QBs who have had 10 or more games with three or more TDs, no interceptions, and 300 or more passing yards.
39-Drew Brees
37-Tom Brady
31-Aaron Rodgers
23-Peyton Manning
20-Ben Roethlisberger
18-Kirk Cousins
14-Brett Favre
13-Matthew Stafford
13-Patrick Mahomes
12-Philip Rivers
12-Matt Ryan
11-Russell Wilson
10-Kurt Warner
Only three Green Bay quarterbacks have had 3-0-300 games. Rodgers’ 31 leads the group followed by Brett Favre with 12. Don Majkowski had one.
The Lions come into this game against the Packers with one of the league’s worst defenses, surrendering over 420 yards per games. This could be the perfect time for Rodgers to get his first 3-0-300 game of the season.
