Packers React the Day After Thursday’s Glorious Win

The Packers got new life when the Lions were called for a facemask penalty against Aaron Rodgers. Lacy finished the day with just one yard from scrimmage before reportedly suffering an ankle injury. They try the Hail Mary which works less than 10%. “Trying to get the ball to somebody that has a chance to go up and get it and fight for it and then having other people there to be able to, if you will, rebound the ball if it comes up”. A game ending, game winning touchdown throw from quarterback Aaron Rodgers won the game for the Green Bay Packers. The guys are upset because they gave so much, but we needed one more play.

They were literally done at the 0:00 mark of the game when Rodgers was tackled on the last portion of a series of laterals in an attempt to replicate the play made famous by Rodgers’ alma mater, the Cal-Stanford “Band Is Out On The Field” walk-off touchdown.

“Because in that situation we have a couple of different things that we do”. “I knew we were around the 40, (so) I knew I was going to have to buy some time to allow (the receivers) to get in the end zone”. I can just play ball, keep going. The one who is now 4-8, and who appeared to lock down the game at the beginning, and seemingly pinned Green Bay’s defense back for good, and then had the Packers on their own 21-yard line with five seconds left on the clock. Lost in the loss will be Johnson’s 17-yard TD catch in the first quarter in which he leaped the catch it with two hands, squeezed the ball with only his right hand as he planted his right foot and dragged his left on the side of the end zone. “That’s the type of stuff that you don’t see in the National Football League, in college, but we’ll gladly take it”. Here, five incredible things about the miracle finish in Detroit.

“Probably the best throw I’ve seen in my time in the game”, McCarthy said, via the team’s official Twitter account, of Rodgers’ picture-perfect 61-yard touchdown.

On the next snap, Julius Peppers stripped the ball from Stafford and Jake Ryan recovered it for Green Bay at the Lions 12.

Aaron Rodgers took advantage one last shot to stun the Detroit Lions. He’s a guy that’s just been working super-hard and we felt like he deserved an opportunity. The Packers got another play, within Rodgers’ striking distance of the end zone, and Rodgers tossed the game-winner. They also would have had defenders in front of the end zone, instead of playing behind the Packers receivers. Bynes and Adams jostled for position.

The Packers were down for the entire first half of the game. That game started the Lions 3 game winning streak after a lot of the management was sacked for the Lions.
