Rodgers and Packers came to an agreement of a six-year contract extension, in a deal worth $65 million through the 2014 season. He won his first game in a comeback situation in the 2009 season opener. The Packers were behind the Chicago Bears at the start of the fourth quarter when he delivered a fifty-yard touchdown throw to wide receiver Greg Jennings with approximately a minute remaining in the game, contributing to the 21–15 victory.
His run of 157 straight throw attempts without an intercepting ended in the fourth week of the season when he was grabbed by Derrick Brooks of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite early success, he was yet to win a tight game that season, despite having seven chances to do so.
He quickly established himself as one of the league’s best quarterbacks, passing for 4,038 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions in his debut season as a starter. This is still the most interceptions he has thrown in a season as of the 2021 season.
