Two plays to define a season for the Green Bay Packers. On the first, rookie Equanimeous St. Brown beat Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller to the inside, but didn’t bend his route far enough where Aaron Rodgers expected it. The Packers settled for a field goal instead of a touchdown. On the second, another rookie, Marqueze Valdes-Scantling cooked Fuller once again, but Rodgers simply overthrew him. No miscommunication or lack of nuance. One of the best of all-time just sailed the throw.
In a game the Packers ultimately lost 24-17, that’s an 11-point swing as MVS would almost certainly have gone untouched into the end zone had the throw been on target.
