4. 2009 Week 14: Big Ben’s first 500+ yard game
The first play from scrimmage in a thrilling 37-36 win over Green Bay was a 60-yard bomb from Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace for a TD. QB Aaron Rodgers answered with GB’s own score in a theme that would carry throughout the game as Rodgers erased deficits of 14-7, 21-14, 27-21, and 30-28. On just seven receptions apiece, both Ward and TE Health Miller had 100+ yard games. RB Rashard Mendenhall and Moore found paydirt on the ground. Wallace closed the game out on a toe-tapping TD with 0:00 on the clock. And just like that, the game ended how it started.
