Packers Trivia - Just for Fun

Now it’s time to test your knowledge of Packers / Vikings history. Here are one or two potentially related trivia questions for you. Be sure to look for the factoid beneath the answer.

Who has the most rushing touchdowns in Packers playoffs?

Wrong!  The answer is Aaron Jones.

Correct!  Aaron Jones

Aaron Jones holds the record for the most rushing touchdowns in Packers playoffs, with a total of 7. Edgar Bennett had 5 playoff rushing TDs, and John Kuhn, Aaron Rodgers, and Dorsey Levens all had 4.

What number did the Packers retire in honor of Brett Favre?

Wrong!  The answer is 4.

Favre never missed a game as quarterback after starting for Green Bay from 1992 to 2007. As a Packer legend with a mountain of records, the team planned to retire his jersey number 4 in 2008. But after drama involving retiring, unretiring, and playing for the Jets and Vikings, the Packers held off until relationships had time to heal before retiring #4 in 2015.
