Aaron Rodgers calls wild finish ‘most fantastic game of my life’

He stripped the ball from QB Matthew Stafford, and LB Jake Ryan recovered at the Lions’ 12-yard-line, setting up Green Bay’s second touchdown. But Aaron Rodgers had the ball in the air for roughly 70-yards.

This meant that Rodgers, with the Packers down 23-21, would need to heave the ball 65+ yards into the endzone and hope a Packer receiver would catch it.

To be fair, Aaron Rodgers said the Packers would normally have a running back in the game to block, so their personnel grouping was abnormal.

Carolina Panthers assistant defensive backs coach Richard “Rock” Rodgers can spot his son anywhere. “I bet the statistic on that was probably over 99 percent that we were not gonna win that game, but it just takes a little miracle like that”.

However, a closer look showed that Taylor may not really have gotten that much of Rodgers’ facemask to be whistled for a penalty.

“I think he’s got me beat, because of the scenario”, Rodgers Sr. said Friday in a phone conversation.

The NFL star, the league’s MVP in 2011 and 2014, came up with the Hail Mary play to see off the Detroit Lions, in a game which had seen the Packers 20 points down. For a swath of football fans, he always will be known for his part in one play. This will happen, especially when Aaron Rodgers has the ball with just about any amount of time left on the clock.

“I wouldn’t say it’s just, I’m not trying to brush off like it’s some simple thing”.

Taylor only momentarily got his hand on Rodgers’ face mask, and though he grabbed the quarterback’s collar, was flagged anyway.

Both Dumervil and Taylor had two sacks in their respective games, and both had legitimate gripes that they shouldn’t have been put in that position.

Rodgers scrambled to his right and fired a bomb into the end zone, where his tight end made a two-handed grab. “He was like ‘we’ve got to go forward, there’s no time left we’ve got to do something.’ So, it worked out in our favor, I guess”, said Richard Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers tight end fought his way out of the slew of Detroit Lions stars blocking his way and leapt to catch his quarterback’s pass. Keeps us right in the mix for play-offs, half a game back in the division.

In an appearance on NFL Network after the game, Blandino suggested that, even if replay review were available to overturn the ruling on the field, it may not have been reversed. The Packers will be back in action next Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, and Lacy’s playing time will nearly certainly be closely monitored. Rodgers found Adams over the middle for an eight-yard score to make it 20-14.
