Aaron Rodgers sends Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James wild with incredible Hail Mary touchdown for the Jets
Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James led the reactions to Aaron Rodgers’ incredible pass to end the first half between the Jets and Bills on Monday.
Trailing 20-10 with seconds to spare, Rodgers served up another long-range pass to close the gap on the break. The Bills gave the veteran quarterback plenty of space, allowing him to launch a 52-yarder to Allen Lazard.
The wide receiver lifted himself above a sea of blue jerseys to make the catch, sending social media into a frenzy.
“Why is Aaron so good at that,” Mahomes wrote with three laughing and crying emojis.
‘Right!! It’s ridiculous!’ James said in response.

“Aaron Rodgers is at it again on MNF waving Hail Marys like a priest on Sunday,” another user wrote. ‘No one does it as well as him!’
“His ability to make those clutch throws is legendary,” a fourth user commented.
“This could be luck but he’s done it four times so I don’t know,” a fifth added.
The highlight came after ESPN showed a montage of Rodgers’ three Hail Mary passes for Pittsburgh.
One of the officials initially called the catch incomplete after the ball was knocked out of Lazard’s hands. However, two officials called a touchdown after confirming that Lazard landed with the ball in his hands.

The Jets held off their visitors defensively through three periods with the game tied at 20 before the fourth.
After suffering an Achilles tendon injury against Buffalo in his first game for the Jets last year, Rodgers missed the rest of the season.
However, this season he played in all five of their games. Rodgers completed 111 of 182 attempts for 1,093 yards and seven touchdowns before Monday, as the Jets went 2-3 to start their campaign.
