Aaron Rodgers Returns from the Dead, Leads Packers to Incredible Comeback
Well, this could add a few seasons to the ol' career.
The Green Bay Packers may have guaranteed their all-everything slinger all the cheese in Wisconsin, and thanks to a couple of Chicago Bears defenders, they may have to keep churning.
Khalil Mack and Roy Robertson-Harris landed on former -- and quite mobile -- CalBear Aaron Rodgers and knocked him outta the game in the second quarter ...
... little did they know he'd return as a pocket passer and lead the Pack to one of the greatest escape acts in their vaunted history.
Not that he needs the extra work after his $191.5million contract package runs its course, but if Rodgers would wanna put his bod at risk for an extra season or two, the second half of this game showed he could be the next Sonny Jurgenson, George Blanda, YA Tittle, all of whom basically finished their careers with the use of a walker.
But why hang on that long when there's hardly anything of note that Rodgers hasn't done?
Like leading the Pack back from a 20-0 hole against the Chicago Bears to post a 24-23 tribute to toughness?
When Rodgers went down, backup DeShone Kizer had his shot for glory, but then Mack happened:

So, does this qualify as a miracle?
