Holy shit.
Detroit was up 20-0 on Green Bay, but the Packers came back. Got to 20-14. Then Lions bumped it to 23-14. Then GB closed to 23-21. Lions had a chance to run out the clock. Couldn't. Pack got the ball with a few seconds left deep in their own territory. And then...
Six seconds left from their own 20, Packers try a bunch of laterals, clock runs out as Aaron Rodgers goes down with the ball in his hand and it's ov.... NO.... facemask! Free play.
Rodgers chucks it as far as he can. Unloaded a rainbow at his own 35. It looked like a punt it went so high. Carried three yards deep into the endzone.
And as soon as I saw the players start to converge in the end zone, I knew the Lions were fucked. They had the three deep guys, but there was a player drifting into the middle with nobody near him. Be damned if it didn't go right into his hands in front of all the Lions defenders.
Technically a 61-yard pass, but he threw the ball close to 70 yards and it probably went 40 yards high before it dropped.
Lions fucked themselves with a facemask on what should have been the last play of the game.
