New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers launched up a prayer before halftime against the Buffalo Bills on Monday night and it was answered.
Aaron Rodgers has a knack for making wild Hail Mary touchdown throws and he did it again on Monday night against the Buffalo Bills right before halftime.
After Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw a touchdown pass to Dawson Knox, Rodgers only had about 14 seconds to even have a legitimate shot at making the long throw for a touchdown. He completed a pass to Garrett Wilson to get the ball to their own 48-yard line.

Rodgers took the snap on the next pass and threw it deep to a group of Jets receivers in the end zone. He found wide receiver Allen Lazard for the 52-yard touchdown. Lazard jumped up for the ball and grabbed it in between a handful of Bills defenders.
It was the fourth Hail Mary touchdown pass of Rodgers’ career, playoffs included.
The play was the talk of the NFL world.
Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott told ESPN the team needed to bat the ball down on that play.
