Aaron Rodgers Throws Across the Field to Find a Wide-Open Richard Rodgers for TD
It looks like the Minnesota Vikings may have had a blown coverage on this play. On 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers faked a handoff and rolled to his right. As he went through his reads, he saw tight end Richard Rodgers in the end zone—with no defenders anywhere near him. The quarterback used his strong arm to throw the ball across the field as he avoided two Vikings defenders. Then, the tight end was able to wait for the ball to come down and secure the easy touchdown. Minnesota was called for defensive holding on the play, but Green Bay declined it and took the points. The Packers took a 14-7 late in the second quarter with the score.
