A player would be thrilled to catch one Hail Mary! After Monday night, Richard Rodgers can say he has turned the miraculous trick twice.
The second one wasn’t as dramatic since the game wasn’t on the line. It was impressive, nonetheless, as Rodgers wound up with the ball on a deflection of a Carson Wentz pass with the Eagles trailing, 23-9. Check out the catch the tight end made with one hand.
Richard Rodgers really just one-handed a Hail Mary 😳 @ImRichardRogers @Eagles

And who could forget the one Rodgers made off a pass from another Rodgers, Aaron when he was Green Bay Packer. That happened on an untimed down in Week 13 of 2015 because Kevin Taylor of the Lions grabbed Aaron Rodgers’ facemask as time ran out.
The Lions led 23-21, but not for long.

That gave Green Bay a 27-23 victory.
