The Green Bay Packers took an early lead over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday when quarterback Aaron Rodgers and tight end Richard Rodgers connected on a pretty impressive scoring strike for just a one-yard toss.

On the play, Aaron rolled out as far as he could to his right, giving Richard and his other pass-catchers plenty of time to get open. After stepping out of Luke Kuechly's missed tackle, Aaron delivered his dart to Richard, who worked the sideline like a pro.

The Panthers almost sacked Aaron Rodgers. Almost isn't good enough. Watch him thread the needle for SIX. #GBvsCAR https://t.co/pyfrGrma1m

The first-half touchdown against the Panthers was the third produced by Green Bay's Rodgers-Rodgers connection this season. The All-Pro quarterback is making the most of his depleted arsenal of pass-catchers by bringing along the young tight end as one of his new favorite targets.
