HIGHLIGHTS from Aaron Rodgers vs. Tom Brady first meeting in Patriots-Packers (2014) | Big Day

How did Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady go so long without starting against each other? Both had spent at least a decade in the league before their teams met at Lambeau Field in November 2014, the encounter ESPN Throwback revisits in its only new upload this week.

Peter Schrager supplies the introduction, then Chris Berman and Tom Jackson take over with their original "The Blitz" recap. Jordy Nelson's long touchdown before halftime gives Green Bay breathing room; Brady's second touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell makes things uncomfortable again. A late sack, a missed Patriots field goal and Rodgers finding Randall Cobb on third down help settle a Packers victory. There is plenty of football packed into this brief reunion, with Berman's rapid-fire delivery part of the attraction.

The upload has drawn roughly 1,500 views and carries the strongest daily momentum among the featured videos. Two October PTI anniversary uploads also remain in motion: Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon revisiting memorable sports moments and interviews, and an older explanation of the show's concept.

Across the catalog, ESPN Throwback collected about 359,000 views over the week. Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is slightly below its usual pace. Nearby sports channels had busier weeks, particularly NFL on FOX and the college-football outlets. Here, the appeal is a different kind of appointment: Berman and Jackson taking viewers back to a matchup that took years to arrive.
