Aaron Rodgers had another one of those incredible moments as an NFL pro, dragging a pretty average Green Bay Packers team to the cusp of the NFC Championship by launching his arm into the stratosphere. Obviously it didn't end with a win, but Rodgers can't play defense or control coin flips unfortunately--thanks asinine NFL overtime rules.
How remarkable was that final minute?
- Rodgers led his team down the field with two game-saving Hail Marys. One on 4th and 10 from his own end zone, the other, on the final play of the game to send Green Bay vs. Arizona to overtime.
Football is too easy for Aaron Rodgers, so he waits for hail mary attempts to score. https://t.co/JyXNNCnt71 pic.twitter.com/Rgs18K2Jo8

- Those two throws totalled 101 yards. Aaron Rodgers led a 101 yard drive to tie the game in just under a minute. Aaron Rodgers threw two Hail Marys in one football drive to save the game.
4th and 20? NBD. Aaron Rodgers find Jeff Janis for 61 yards! #GBvsAZ https://t.co/hJZphQ0WK8

- It's Rodgers's second successful Hail Mary to end a football game this season. This one sadly didn't involve Richard Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers: 2 Hail Marys. 1 season. Here's both of them, side by side. #GBvsAZ #GBvsDET https://t.co/4292H7uHYd

- Aaron was not even looking downfield because of the pressure he was receiving from a full on blitz.

Just saw the Hail Mary again. It's more impressive than the one in Detroit. 55 yards in air. Against grain of his body. Falling away. Wow.

This game needs a special OT rule. They should let Aaron Rodgers try one more pass from his own 40.

That Aaron Rodgers pass was so amazing I'm switching to State Farm.

Gutsy win by AZ & congrats to the Cards. But man do I feel for @AaronRodgers12 - he was amazing. Deserved to win.

If I were Aaron Rodgers after this game, I'd be so upset I'd throw my helmet 50 yards on the fly into the hands of a 5th string receiver.
