2011 was the craziest passing year I've ever seen in the NFL. Let's review all that happened: - Tons of shootouts (including this gem) - Three 5,000-yd. passers (and Eli Manning also nearly had 5,000) - Seven 4,000-yd. passers - Four 100+ passer rating seasons - Three 40+ TD passers (Brady also nearly had 40 with 39) - Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, & Matthew Stafford all had an elite year - Tony Romo & Eli Manning had a very good year - Big Ben, Philip Rivers, & Matt Ryan all had a solid year - Cam Newton had a sensational rookie year in which he threw for over 400 yds & 3 TDs in his first NFL game ever - Matt Schaub was on pace for a great year until he was put out for the rest of the season with injury & led the Texans to a 7-3 start (the greatest start in franchise history to that point) & their 1st postseason birth in franchise history - Aaron Rodgers' unreal 46 TD, 6 INT, 122.5 passer rating season - Even Mark "Mr. Butt Fumble" Sanchez had a productive year with 26 TDs & nearly 3,500 yds - "Tim Tebow Mania" & his improbable late-season playoff run that culminated with that wild OT thriller win over the Steelers where he threw over 300 yards on just 10 pass completions - The Brees-Stafford shootout in the Superdome in the Wild Card & the more entertaining, more competitive divisional round shootout between the Saints & 49ers - Brady's 6-TD aerial assault on the Broncos in the divisional round - Eli Manning had the greatest, most clutch postseason run by a QB not named Brady or Montana that I've ever seen - On the flip side, the bottom 10 QBs were some of the worst ever with complete UGLY play (Josh Freeman, Kyle Orton, Matt Cassel, Colt McCoy, Rex Grossman, Sam Bradford, Christian Ponder, John Skelton, Curtis Painter, & Blaine Gabbert) And this was all in a year WITHOUT Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, or Russell Wilson!

This year for Stafford proves the pro bowl is nothing but a popularity contest and has nothing to do with stats. He passed for over 5,000 yards and over 40 TD and no pro bowl. He did later get put in as an injury alternate

Remember when Matt Flynn was gonna be the next thing and even start over Russell Wilson? This is why.

That jordy stiff arm on his first TD was absolutely filthy

THE GAME THAT GOT MATT FLYNN A CONTRACT IN SEATTLE ONLY TO LOSE HIS JOB TO A GUY IN THE THIRD ROUND

1000 pass yards in that game. Absolutely crazy. Still the record for the most passing and net passing yards in a game.

Boy Titus Young could have had 4 TDs this game. Got robbed on one and dropped another

Had to come back and watch some the legend’s highlights after he retired today.

Jordy in his prime was amazing

Good lord, the reffing in this game was so bad. The Stegan Logan fumble that wasn't a fumble and the Titus Young TD that got called back are just the two major ones I've seen so far and I'm barely 5 minutes into this video.

Calvin Johnson was so incredible bro. That drive was 2 Calvin Johnson streaks I mean if doesn't get easier than that

Best true backup in NFL history

You did amazing Jordy, total respect for your retirement. You made being a Packer fan great.

One of the best shoot-outs in NFL history. Watching the entire game is the only way to experience how truly exciting that game was.

this is the most underrated channel ever... but the narrator for once is needed.. i want story lines and back stories

Before scoring plays were reviewed. How the booth didn’t look at that I’ll never know

Poor Lions. Although the drops and missed FGs play a role, it seems they're always getting robbed. Also Calvin Johnson was a monster. Coming from a Steelers fan.

I will always remember watching this game in person...being so disappointed that Rodgers was sitting out for the game, only to see Matt Flynn pull off this amazing game and seeing Jordy run wild. It was unbelievable to watch.

Matt Flynn got rich off this one game. And the Tytus Young TD again Lions got hosed.

I was at this game . Just turned 21 and my lil brother was freshie in college , dad got us Xmas present tickets . We were both extra hungover . Heard AR12 wouldn’t start until drive up to wisco (from Chicagoland ) didn’t expect much of a game . Little did I know We would witness history that day.

isnt this greatest backup performance? Highlight heaven

I was lucky enough to attend this game unfortunately the lions didn't win but got to see Stafford join the 500 club

Literally No Defense

One of my favorite what ifs is what would have happened if the Seahawks would have started Matt Flynn over Russell Wilson

FLYNNSANITY

When I say that NFL Throwback is the best channel for NFL throwback games! They are the best! Picture perfect quality! Keep up the good work whole lot of respect for this channel!❤️

Still one of my favorite games as a Lions fan, even though we lost, i was happy to finally see these guys hold their own at Lambeau Field

This is the only reason why the Seahawks signed Matt Flynn

Man I’m not even a lions fan but i miss Calvin Johnson. One of the most unstoppable receivers I have ever seen. It was weird he dropped that td though and even weirder how he got in that defenders face after the hit.

So... We aren't gonna talk about how good of a game Titus Young had? I'm a lions fan and remembered thinking after this game we would of had an amazing 3 WR set with Megatron, Burleson and young. That turned out to be great...

1,000 passing yards happened in this game. It was the most in NFL history.

A memorable season for the Lions. I remember when I was recovering from the New Year hangover, watching this game .

Lions screwed out of a touchdown? Check! 😖

Thanks for posting this one! For a game that was ultimately meaningless in the playoff picture it was sure entertaining.

This 1 game basically got Matt Flynn a big contract from the Seahawks. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Craziest calls ever in this game

The refs always blow calls against the Lions SMH. I'm a bears fan by the way

As a lions fan, this brings me tears...

Retire in Peace white lightning, you will be missed

Dang that lions we’re screwed over in every way on those three “should have been” TD’s in the first half

Johnson is my hero ... absolutely amazing

Having attended this game, I went in thinking this would be a bloodbath, considering Rodgers, Woodson, and Matthews all sat out for this game. Matt Flynn then said, “Hold my cheese curds”. His 480 yards is still the franchise record and his 6 TDs are tied for the franchise record. Still blows my mind, 1,000 yards between both QBs

Flynn was also the 3rd quarterback to start for Green Bay in 20 years!

This is the game that got Matt Flynn paid!!!

Can't wait for the season to start

Now this is some content

Also, Tony Scheffler was the original Tick-Tok dance king.....only problem was there was no such thing at the time. But he's Killin it

It's kind of crazy how many strings of events happened from this meaningless game.

Thought you already uploaded this.

Megatron was the best.in his prime.I hope he gets into.the HOF. The Lions got screwed this game.

Man I’m gonna miss Stafford

Wow, Matthew Stafford & Matt Flynn Had Combine Over 900 Passing Yards In NFL History!

Mark brunell, kurt Warner, matt Hasselbeck, arron brooks and arron Rodgers, packers have had some great back ups except for brett Hundley and deshone kizer lmao and maybe doug Pederson's the eagles coach now lmao all under Favre

I’m surprised nobody has mentioned 0:55 yet.

*Greeeen 18*

Aren't you supposed to review every touchdown

Flynn looks pretty beast in this game not gonna lie

Pettigrew damn near got his spine broken

Matt Flynn for governor

I didn't expect them to have no chance to get another ring

Only 5 NFC Central Division Chicago Bears Detroit Lions Green Bay Packers Minnesota Vikings and Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976 through 1993 era

Haters terrible call young had a TD and then that last pick the defender ran into our wr 10 yards down the field Packers weak as hell

Literally only mvps and hall of famers throw for 5000 yards and 40 tds but with Stafford it’s oh he had megatron

That touchdown that the refs stole from Detroit was the difference

Matt Flynn was so damn good.

Overtime we running out of WRs with numbers #80 -89 Antonio brown and Jarvis laundry are like the only ones left

Matt flyn looks like trubisky

Thought i was watching a calvin Johnson highlights for a sec there

This single game earned Flynn about $20 million. He was given two large contracts due to the potential he showed in this game with expecting he'd start. First in Seattle when rookie Wilson won the starting job. Second in Oakland where another rookie beat him out.

I miss Calvin smh but I think Matt got better without him

Man people think I'm crazy when I say one of my favorite qb duels is between matt stafford and Matt flynn. You just gotta watch this game to see all of the fucking dimes that were thrown in this game.

Damn Titus Young was a baller. Whatever happened to that dude?

It's not whether you get knocked down. It's whether you get up.

Last game the Packers won that season.

I’m a packers fan and next we going to make it to the playoffs maybe the Super Bowl

Now they’re both retired

As a chiefs fan it scares me I offense is tremendous and I defense is horrible so if we had the number one seed locked up and if Chad henne starting tomorrow he have seven TD wit I great weapons too

DAILY REMINDER TO VOTE DERRICK ROSE AND LUKA DONCIC INTO THE ALL-STAR GAME

People in the comments acting like Titus Young’s catch would have made the difference. No, it wouldn’t. The game would have been tied in the final minute, the Packers would have the ball at midfield, and the way they were playing they would have almost certainly got a last second score to win the game. Chill out.

Please get the L.T vs Detroit game uploaded! Or literally Any other game L.T had participated in.

good game too bad we lost

Jordyyyyyyyyyy

9:30 I'm all about hard hits but when you make that big hit and pretend to be hard and start yelling at the dude you just smacked, even though he just scored on your ass, is pointless and stupid. I'm glad Calvin Johnson stood up for his teammate after that.

Back when receivers didn't cry

Should have shown us the Lions Perfect season

I think everyone forgot that he ended with the raiders this past season lol

Former LSU national championship winner Matt Flynn

Stafford has been one of the best qbs in football since this 5000 yard season but he plays for the lions

This the game Matt Flynn got that huge contract from the Raiders off of.

flynn the qb who won a national championship in 2007 at lsu

Stafford had a great season but he’s much better now!!! He did a lot of fade-away side arm passes he doesn’t do anymore, it cut out a lot of passes sailing high and interceptions!!!

Matt Flyn made a lot of money in this game

Ah the Game that brought Flynn to the Pacific Northwest

Damm the niners 13-3

8:46 god damn

Merry Christmas y'all! Is it Baseball season yet 🥴

Titus Young is such a tragic story

Matt Flynn was the fucking goat

5:45 That’s from the Aaron Rodgers playbook

The advantages the Packers get, this highlight reel alone has a no call false start, and Stephan Logan was down on the kick return, called fumble, Titus had both feet down, typicall NFL would rather keep the Lion's down.
