The Green Bay Packers recently won a game against the Chicago Bears. They desperately needed the win. The Packers’ offense made bold moves with Christian Watson, helping them to secure three touchdowns. And given the history Aaron Rodgers holds against the Bears, many fans expected him to own the losing team yet again. But Green Bay’s chances to advance in the playoffs are still slim. Therefore, NFL Twitter once cherished the time when Rodgers played like a beast.

In the Cardinals Arizona-Green Bay Packers game, the former wide receiver Jeff Janis emerged as the star. With the help of the reigning MVP QB, the 31-year-old ended the matchup in the craziest fashion. Even though the Packers lost the game by 26-20, every football fan remembers the magical moment vividly.

In the NFC Divisional Round, the Packers were fourth-and-20 stuck on their 4th-yard line. The score was 20-13 and only 55 seconds remained on the clock. It looked like the end for Aaron Rodgers and his team.

However, the former Super Bowl-winning QB found Janis for a 60-yard reception. This helped the game to continue.

In the last seconds of regulation, an off-balanced Rodgers threw a speculative 41-yard “Hail Mary” ball into the packed end zone. Janis again made the grab to make the score 20-19, and the extra point sent the game into overtime.
