Aaron Rodgers Escapes Sack for Ridiculous Touchdown Throw (Video)
Aaron Rodgers never ceases to amaze, escaping a sure-fire sack to throw a strike to Davante Adams in the end zone against the Jaguars
It’s almost commonplace at this point that Aaron Rodgers is going to do something ridiculous. If he steps onto the football field for the Green Bay Packers, it’s almost inevitable. However, it’s never not impressive to see him pull off one of his feats. The Jacksonville Jaguars learned first-hand on Sunday in Week 1 just how not-human Rodgers is.
With the Jags trying to hold the Packers at the end of the first half, Rodgers and Green Bay had other plans in mind. Trying to put together a quick drive across essentially half the field with under 30 seconds remaining, it would take something remarkable to pull it off. Luckily, Aaron Rodgers doubles as a miracle-worker.
Jacksonville actually got fantastic pressure on the quarterback, getting multiple hands on him. However, that doesn’t bother someone who may not be human like Rodgers. He somehow stayed upright and then managed to deliver a rocket to the front of the end zone. That’s where Davante Adams was breaking and dove to make an absolutely fantastic catch for the score.
You can watch this on repeat several times and it still doesn’t seem like it should be possible. Then again, isn’t this just another day in the life of Aaron Rodgers?
