Two of the most talented and clutch stars at their respective positions reminded the football world exactly why they’re so revered.
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers, the reigning MVP, completed 25- and 17-yard passes to Davante Adams in the final 37 seconds with no timeouts remaining against the San Francisco 49ers to set up a Mason Crosby walk-off game-winner. Earlier in the day, Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker set an NFL record with a 66-yard field goal to put an exclamation mark on a wild finish against the Detroit Lions.
Those incredible comebacks were perhaps the top two moments from an action-packed Sunday that saw rookie quarterbacks go 0-5, while sophomore QBs Justin Herbert and Joe Burrow had strong outings to lead their teams to important wins against division rivals.
Five games were decided by the final possession, Tom Brady played an NFL game in Los Angeles for the first time in his historic career, and the Cardinals-Jaguars game had a 68-yard field goal attempt quickly turn into a 109-yard TD accompanied by a classic Gus Johnson call.
Here’s what else you missed.
