Packers: Motor City Miracle: Hail Mary TD with no time left lifts Green Bay over Detroit


LARRY LAGE and NOAH TRISTER Associated Press 2 hrs ago 5

DETROIT — Aaron Rodgers took the shotgun snap on an untimed down with no time left, shuffled to his left, slipped a sack, rolled right and heaved a pass that seemed as high as it was long.

Richard Rodgers, drifting toward the end zone while teammates and opponents crowded behind him, leaped and made the catch on the 61-yard play to give the Green Bay Packers a stunning 27-23 victory over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night.

"I knew I was going to have to buy some time to allow them to get into the end zone," Aaron Rodgers said. "I knew once I got outside the right that I was going to be able to set up and throw."

The Lions, fearing the Packers (8-4) would start lateraling and force Detroit to make a tackle, did not put 6-foot-5 Calvin Johnson in the game for defensive purposes. Detroit had plenty of people in the end zone, but the Lions may have misjudged the high throw. Linebacker Josh Bynes dropped back away from Richard Rodgers to cover another potential target, allowing the tight end to drift into the end zone and haul the ball in at the front of a pack of players, with no Lions in great position to knock the pass down.......................
