Winning the Super Bowl
One of the biggest moments in Jarrett Bush's career was Super Bowl XLV in 2011. The Packers were playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers. During the game, a star player, Charles Woodson, got hurt. This meant Bush had to step up and play more at cornerback.
Bush made a huge play in the second quarter. He intercepted a pass from the Steelers' quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger. This interception was a turning point in the game. After his big play, the Packers scored a touchdown. Bush ended the Super Bowl with one interception and five tackles, helping the Packers win the championship!
After the 2014 season, the Packers did not sign Bush again.
