Aaron Rodgers threw a 61-yard touchdown pass with no time remaining, and the Green Bay Packers stunned the Detroit Lions 27-23 last night. Detroit took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Green Bay defense held them out of the endzone for the rest of the game. The Packers’ offense was shut out in the first half, but woke up in the second half. The Hail Mary pass came on a bonus play the Packers were awarded by the referees, after the Lions were flagged for grabbing Rodgers’ facemask on what would have been the game’s final play.
