Packers stun Lions on Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary T

The got payback for the ","three years later in Detroit.One play after extended the game, connected on a miraculous 61-yard Hail Mary throw to with no time remaining to beat the on Thursday night. The play completed a 20-point comeback and pushed the to 8-4 on the season. "When he caught it, I blacked out," told CBS after the game. "It's the greatest feeling I've had on the field in a long time."The were 79 yards away from the end zone Jonah Williams Jersey with six seconds left -- and they somehow won the game. Rodgers had thrown the ball on a desperate lateral play as time was expiring when Detroit's Rodgers' facemask. After watching the play on replay, it was questionable whether Taylor actually got hold of the facemask. The penalty extended the game by one play, and the brothers Rodgers did the rest (Note: they are not actually brothers).This play was not all about luck. Few quarterbacks, if any, could throw the ball as far and high as did on the final play. The height of the throw allowed his teammates time to get in position, and his tight end perfectly timed his leap to catch the winning pa s.It's a play that will be remembered for as long as profe sional football is played, and it could not be a bigger gut-punch lo s for the . Detroit was one miracle play away from its first season sweep of the since 1991. The looked ready to win their fourth straight game, and were entertaining playoff dreams. The , meanwhile, appeared to be heading to their fifth lo s in six games. "What a great game to be a part of. We needed a win like that," coach Mike McCarthy said. It was a hard result to imagine for much of Thursday's game. The led 20-0 after a long field goal drive to start the second half. The ensuing 25 minutes of game time represented the biggest comeback of Rodgers' career. He erased the memory of a scorele s first half where the were held under 100 yards. One play can do so much. The could be back in first place in the NFC North by the end of the weekend, and look like a far safer pick to make the playoffs now. They were set to face a miserable 10 days of questions about their stagnant offense and their curious running attack, which kept on the sideline for most of Thursday. Instead, they can bask in the glow of one of the most memorable finishes in NFL history. Zach Kerr Jersey
