Aaron Rodgers’ last-second Hail Mary shut down the Internet.
The Cardinals thought they had it in the bag when Michael Floyd caught the go-ahead touchdown. But, as the Lions learned, as long as you have Aaron Rodgers, it’s never over. His Hail Mary pass to Jeff Janis shut down the Internet. Nobody could come up with a clever remark, they were simply in awe over what they just saw.
Did Lions fire Jim Caldwell and was he hired by Arizona?

The last two were really clever tongue-in-cheek moments as they were both on the losing end of some miraculous plays in the playoffs.

Many people thought that, because the Packers had so much momentum on their side, that they should’ve just gone for two and won the game. But if they had missed it, Mike McCarthy and the Green Bay Packers would’ve never heard the end of it.
With how well Carson Palmer, Tom Brady, Cam Newton, and Russell Wilson have played, Aaron Rodgers got lost in the shuffle in the best quarterback of the season discussion. But he has now rescued his team with Hail Marys twice in the same season. He has had a limited offense ever since Jordy Nelson went down at the start of the season, and it looked even worse when Randall Cobb went down in this game. But Rodgers finds a way to get it done no matter what. If not for him, the Packers wouldn’t even be a playoff team.
