New England Patriots rookie quarterback Bailey Zappe nearly did the unthinkable in beating Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in his first ever NFL start.
It came down to the Packers defense stopping Zappe in overtime with Rodgers marching the ball downfield for veteran kicker Mason Crosby to knock the game-winner through the uprights.
There was obviously no reason for Zappe to hang his head considering he made some positive plays, while taking care of the football and avoiding the same backbreaking turnovers that have lost games for the Patriots this season.
He shared a few words with Rodgers, who is widely considered as one of the best quarterbacks to ever do it.
