Despite missing numerous weapons, Aaron Rodgers has the Green Bay Packers in position to make the playoffs — especially following tonight's miraculous finish in Detroit.
Proving that games are never over until the clock hits 0:00, Rodgers and the Pack were down 23-21 with just 6 seconds left to play in the 4th quarter. The Packers then tried a lateral play that fell short, seemingly ending the game. However, a facemask penalty was called on the Lions, giving Rodgers one last heave at the end zone.
There may not be a quarterback with a stronger arm in football than Rodgers, and he showed the world why as time expired. Evading defenders on the final snap, Rodgers rolled out to his right and launched a 61-yarder that was reeled in by tight end Richard Rodgers, giving Green Bay an improbable 27-23 victory.
What's to credit for the hail mary? Rodgers' cannon of an arm is a good place to start, but he's giving praise to someone else — his new partners at adidas. Speaking to reporters after the game (as seen in the video below), Rodgers said, "I was going to have to run for some yards to throw it — I had my fast adidas on that I showed off on that touchdown run," alluding to an earlier play.
Adidas announced the signing of Rodgers back in September. He's spent the majority of the season playing in blacked out and team-inspried Crazyquick cleats.
