Rodgers threw incomplete on the first two plays of the series, and the Packers were left with one final lateral play on third-and-10 with 6 seconds on the clock. The Detroit penalty extended the game and the Rodgers duo did the rest.
Before Thursday’s night’s game, the Packers were reeling, losers of four of their previous five games.
The Packers got the untimed down after Detroit defensive end Devin Taylor was called for grabbing Aaron Rodgers’ facemask on a tackle on what would’ve been the last play.
And at the end of that throw was tight end Richard Rodgers, who caught it for a 61-yard, game-winning TD. He said the Packers practice their Hail Mary play every Saturday and was impressed with his quarterback’s high-arcing throw to the end zone. He caught the ball. At the pass’s summit, the Packers had won the game. By then, all he was thinking was, “Catch it. You got to catch it. When he caught it, I just blanked out”. Sometimes we didnt execute which wouldve been more, better runs.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers rolls out to pass during the second quarter against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field on December 3, 2015 in Detroit, Michigan. Whatever the ref saw, he called facemask.

The Lions dominated the first quarter of the match after Matt Prater kicked them ahead with a 51-yard field goal. And all Lions and Packers fans could do was hold their breath.
Ezekiel Ansah also continued to rack up the sacks, adding another one to his NFC-leading total.
Green Bay notched their first points of the game when they reached the redzone, but were fortunate as James Starks fumbled the ball, only for Randall Cobb to gather in the endzone.
Prater’s 34-yard field goal with 8:54 left in the third quarter gave Detroit a 20-0 lead.
