Rodgers Historically Thrives Indoors as Packers Prepare for Georgia Dome

A miraculous comeback, a 61-yard heave and a shortness of breath in Ford Field marked the last time Aaron Rodgers played in a dome environment prior to 2016.

It was dubbed the "Hail Mary Game" and would send tight end Richard Rodgers into Packers lore as somewhat of a folk hero. Good things happen for (Aaron) Rodgers and the Packers when they're playing in a dome, as do they for most quarterbacks.

There's a nonexistent natural weather factor, kicking is a breeze (or lack thereof) and the artificial turf can sometimes benefit the players on the field.
