What would Bill Belichick have done to prevent Packers’ incredible Hail Mary?

Aaron Rodgers threw the ball about 70 yards to the end zone, and Richard Rodgers made an impressive catch with a bunch of players right behind him – but the Detroit Lions can look back at any number of things they could have done differently to prevent the touchdown with no time remaining that gave Green Bay a 27-23 victory Thursday night. It was the first hail mary connection in Rodgers’ quarterback life, and it allowed the Packers to equal the win total of the division leading Minnesota Vikings. “It feels like more”.

While the Packers did their jobs well, we have to ask what on earth were the Lions doing?

Moreover, the Lions compounded their error by having the worst defensive scheme ever for a Hail Mary. “Those are the ones that eat at you”.

“As the play was developing, and I saw Aaron got outside, I thought to myself, wow, if [Richard] can get it up there, he’s going to get it”, Rodgers Sr. said, via Bill Voth of Black and Blue Review. “It is never over in this league”. At the same time putting 17 points on the board thanks to a pair of Matthew Stafford touchdown passes in less than a minute, the last coming after an Aaron Rodgers interception. Aaron Rodgers threw a desperation pass on the previous play.

Crockett said playing for Green Bay reminds him of playing for NDSU.

On the next possession for Detroit, Ameer Abdullah got the team down the field with a huge 36-yard carry to the Green Bay 11-yard line. The 1982 Stanford-California game, a slew of laterals, the Stanford band on the field as and the “most unbelievable, sensational, dramatic, heart-rending… exciting, thrilling finish in the history of college football” is tough to beat.

“My personal opinion, I don’t think I did (grab his facemask)”, Taylor said. And then the rest of the game happened.

Welcome to another edition of Highlight of the Week, where we feature videos of heart-stopping sports plays, such as last week’s CFL game-winning touchdown. Seahawks receiver Golden Tate and Packers defender M.D. Jennings leaped and wrestled for the ball in the left corner of the end zone, with both appearing to have some form of possession.

“It’s the complete scenario”, Rock Rodgers said, explaining his stance.

He has now much to Caldwell’s chagrin.

“In that situation, we have a couple of different things that we do”, Caldwell told reporters. The shot through the uprights gave Detroit a bit of breathing room with a two score lead.

After a huge fourth-and-two conversion, the Lions extended their lead on a 42-yard field goal to give the Lions a 23-14 lead with 7:06 left in the game.

It wasn’t a big enough cushion. Running back James Starks fumbled at the Lions five-yard-line but the ball bounced forward and wide receiver Randall Cobb landed on it in the end zone. Then Julius Peppers forced a fumble, which was converted into Davante Adams’ first touchdown of the year and the deficit was cut to six. Off-target would’ve lost the game on Thursday.
