Newest Tiger Jordan Zimmermann accidentally trolls Lions fans after Aaron

The Rodgers to Rodgers combination was working in full force as Richard had eight catches for a career high 146 receiving yards and, of course, that game-winning touchdown. Richard Rodgers, the eventual recipient of the pass, is at the five yard line and drifting back towards the front of the end zone.

All of that presumes the Vikings won’t lose again before the season finale – easier speculated than accomplished with Seattle coming to town and a trip to Arizona on the horizon (the Packers, not exactly a juggernaut lately when they’re not playing the Vikings, could well lose again too).

Just as everybody had drawn it up, right? There’s a lot more to give. Thursday’s Hail Mary only happened after Lions defensive end Devin Taylor brushed Aaron Rodgers’ facemask during a final desperation play as time expired.

The Packers call the play “rebound pass” and were running it with a different personnel group than normal, partly due to confusion resulting from the facemask penalty as the clock initially hit zero and gave the offense one more snap. The answer, unsurprisingly, lies somewhere in the middle.

“I knew I was going to have buy some time to allow them [his receivers] to get in the end zone from the 40”.

“It’s one that it’s really close, and so we made the call”, Blandino said.

It’s weird enough that the Packers came back from a 20-0 deficit, and that they were even in that deep of a hole to begin with, and that they won it when a guy named Rodgers threw to a guy who was also named Rodgers (that was Richard). Well, whether it’s on the one or if it’s incomplete it doesn’t really matter at that point.

“Then it was, get him out from underneath that pile”.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers spikes the ball in the end zone after his rushing touchdown during the second half of an NFL football game against the Detroit Lions, Thursday, Dec. 3, 2015, in Detroit.

As for Richard Rodgers, he had a great game aside from catching the Hail Mary. “That’s the whole design of it, and there’s a design to where you try to get to and the triangle that you’re trying to form (with teammates) down there”. With the victory, only the Cardinals and Panthers have better odds than Green Bay’s 92.08% of making the playoffs.

“Defensively, it’s sort of the reverse of that”. The guys are upset because they gave so much, but we needed one more play. What other play could he have run?

Then, Aaron Rodgers perfectly lofted a 17-yard pass over linebacker Josh Bynes to Davante Adams for his first TD reception this season to pull the Packers within six points late in the third.

“Randall (Cobb) was kind of upset that I threw the ball 20 yards back to Aaron”. Rodgers scrambled, dodged a tackle and threw an absolute meteor toward the end zone. “I think when you watch the play live I was just like everybody else”.

“We were in position to get our hands on it, ” Caldwell said.
