Packers stun Lions with Hail Mary on final play

Detroit — For most of the game, it looked like the Lions were going to have serious bragging right over the division-rival Packers.

Then Aaron Rodgers launched the ball toward the end zone where tight end Richard Rodgers caught a 61-yard touchdown pass with no time remaining as the Packers managed a miraculous comeback to beat the Lions, 27-23, at Ford Field.

The Lions (4-8) never trailed in the game, and Green Bay (8-4) needed an extra play after time expired to take their only lead.

After the Lions, leading 23-21, punted to the Packers, Green Bay had just 23 seconds and no timeouts left to try to score.
