Jets’ Aaron Rodgers throws incredible Hail Mary TD pass before halftime vs Bills

4425


Aaron Rodgers has a knack for making wild Hail Mary touchdown throws and he did it again on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills right before halftime.

After Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass to Dawson Knox, Rodgers only had about 14 seconds to even have a legitimate shot at making the long throw for a touchdown. He completed a pass to Garrett Wilson to get the ball to their own 48-yard line.

Rodgers took the snap on the next pass and threw it deep to a group of Jets receivers in the end zone. He found wide receiver Allen Lazard for the 52-yard touchdown. Lazard jumped up for the ball and grabbed it in between a handful of Jets defenders.

It was the fourth Hail Mary touchdown pass of Rodgers’ career, playoffs included.

The play was the talk of the NFL world.

The Bills took a 20-17 lead into halftime.

Rodgers was 13-of-17 with 192 passing yards and two touchdown passes in the first half. He had the other one to Garrett Wilson in the first quarter. Wilson made a nifty toe tap to complete the catch.

Buffalo scored on three of its first four drives. Allen started the scoring with a 1-yard rush with 6:12 left in the first quarter. He then found Mack Hollins in the second for an 8-yard touchdown pass with 6:54 left in the second quarter. The Knox touchdown pass gave the Bills some comfort room before Rodgers’ miraculous pass.
