The Green Bay Packers had blown a 17-point lead and appeared destined for overtime against the Chicago Bears. Then Aaron Rodgers went full Aaron Rodgers.

Facing a third-and-11 with 36 seconds left and the score tied at 27, Rodgers unleashed a perfectly thrown 60-yard bomb to Jordy Nelson, who hauled it in to set up the eventual game-winning field goal.

Rodgers didn’t finish with eye-popping numbers (19 of 31 for 252 yards with no touchdowns) but he came up huge to help the Packers win their fourth in a row to keep their playoff hopes alive. Green Bay picked up a game on the entire division as every other NFC North team lost Sunday.
