Facing a must-win situation to stay alive in the NFC North race heading into their Week 17 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, the Green Bay Packers saw those division-winning dreams go up in smoke in a 41-24 defeat.
While the Packers' defense didn't have to worry about Lamar Jackson, who sat out with a back injury, it did still have to deal with Derrick Henry.
And Jeff Hafley's unit could do absolutely nothing to stop him, as the five-time Pro Bowler rushed for 216 yards, marking the most ever by a visiting player at Lambeau Field, and matched a career high with four touchdowns in helping the Ravens stay alive in the AFC North, which will now be decided in a winner-take-all matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18, as Aaron Rodgers & Co. took a loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
But Henry wasn't the only player on Saturday to have one of the best performances of his career, as Malik Willis did the same.
With Jordan Love failing to clear concussion protocol, Willis got his first start of the season and certainly made the most of it, completing 18 of 21 passes for a career-high 288 yards and a touchdown to earn a 134.6 passer rating, while also rushing for 60 yards and two scores before exiting the game midway through the fourth quarter after reaggravating his right shoulder.
Malik Willis records wild stat line never hit by Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, or Jordan Love
Given his final stat line, Willis accomplished a feat never reached by Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, or Jordan Love, as he became the first Packers quarterback since Don Majkowski in 1990 with at least 285 passing yards and 60 rushing yards in the same game.
In Week 4 of that '90 campaign, "The Majik Man" threw for 289 yards and rushed for another 88 in a 24-21 road win over the Detroit Lions.
Willis also became the first quarterback to complete every pass, throw for 100 yards, and record both a passing touchdown and a rushing touchdown in the first half of a game since Michael Vick did so for the Atlanta Falcons in 2002 against none other than the Packers at Lambeau Field.
Willis, of course, is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end, as one has to wonder if this performance against Baltimore just made him too expensive for Green Bay to attempt to re-sign. But even if the Packers could afford him, there's a strong chance he won't even want to return, as one would assume he'll want to go to a team that will genuinely let him compete for a starting job.
And given what he just showed he can do, Willis is likely to have plenty of suitors this offseason.
