Rodgers dropped back and lofted a pass to his right as the Cardinals pass rush approached.Ĭardinals defensive tackle Jordan Phillips hit Rodgers as he released the pass. He took the snap out of the shotgun formation. The All-Pro quarterback lined up for a first and goal play from the Cardinals’ 2-yard line at the start of the sequence. “I saw it,” Rodgers told reporters, when asked about the viral photo in his postgame news conference.
Rodgers completed 22 of 37 passes for 184 yards and two scores in the win. The hit occurred early in the third quarter of the Packers’ 24-21 triumph Thursday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.
