Packers fans who thought the Monday after a thrilling "Sunday Night Football" win over the New Orleans Saints couldn't get any better probably haven’t seen that Creed meme yet.
The 30-second clip takes the joy of 3-0 start to the season hilariously “Higher."
Using footage from the post-grunge band’s 2001 halftime show at Texas Stadium for Denver Broncos-Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving, it goes awesomely awry by dropping the heads of Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and offensive tackle David Bakhtiari in on the action. So while frontman Scott Stapp is belting out “Higher,” all of a sudden you get a wide-eyed Bakhtiari shredding as guitarist Mike Tremonti and Rodgers as the shirtless aerial artist flying around on the field with silks.
Bakhtiari retweeted it and tagged Rodgers. “This just hits different,” he wrote.
The video from @ShooterMcGavin_ , a popular parody Twitter account of the "Happy Gilmore" antagonist, has racked up more than 394,000 views since it was posted late Sunday. No telling how many of those viewings are from people watching it multiple times, because somehow once doesn't seem like enough.

It's the second time Creed has come up for Rodgers in the last week. During an appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show" on Sept. 22, he said he keeps his pregame playlist to mostly '90s alt-rock acts like Pearl Jam, Counting Crows and Foo Fighters —but no Creed.
He did, however, have a Creed story.
When the Packers played the Cowboys in 2007 and Rodgers was still the backup quarterback, he remembers the band's "With Arms Wide Open" being played as the team's walk-out song before the game and saying to assistant athletic trainer Nate Weir that it was going to be a good night.
"And that was the night I came in off the bench and played pretty well and kind of changed the narrative about me from possible draft bust to hey, this guy might be able to play, maybe," Rodgers said.
"Thank you, Creed!" McAfee said.
Stapp got wind and tweeted at Rodgers.
