Aaron Rodgers is a magician. We know that he’s scary accurate when he throws a deep ball, but even for Rodgers, this was something else.
The Green Bay Packers’ quarterback had the opportunity for one more shot at the end zone during the team’s NFC Wild Card Game against New York. Rodgers dropped back as his receivers streaked down the field, and once everyone was in position, he flicked his wrist and lobbed a ball into the end zone.
Rodgers’ pass was scary good, as it hung in the air for a while before coming back to earth. Once it landed, it fell softly into the arms of Randall Cobb, who secured the ball and got both feet inbounds to give Green Bay a 14-6 lead heading into halftime. While Rodgers will get most of the praise, this was a fantastic play by Cobb.
Still, Rodgers again proved that he was better than anyone at throwing up a hail mary for one of his receivers. This isn’t the first time he’s done this in the postseason, as he did it last year against Arizona. In fact, the Cardinals’ Twitter account reminded us that Rodgers has done this before.
Seen that before.

The lesson here is the same lesson that Arizona learned last year: if you’re playing the Packers in the postseason, don’t let Aaron Rodgers heave up a prayer, because it will be answered.
