Miracle Final Play Gives Packers 27-23 Win Over Lions

The Green Bay Packers were, for all intents and purposes, going to walk out of Detroit with their fifth loss of the season and second of the year to the Lions.

Down 23-20, the Packers got a lucky facemask call on what would have been the last play of the game. That allowed them one more play with no time on the clock, which gave Aaron Rodgers one desperation heave to the end zone.

And that’s all the Packers needed on this night.

Rodgers bomb was pulled in by a leaping Richard Rodgers for the 27-20 win.
