Threw from his own 35 yard line and the ball went about 3 yards into the end zone. He could have easily stepped up another 5 yards as there was no one near him when he let the ball fly. But the fact that he didn't throw the ball deep into the end zone where all the Lions defenders were is probably what resulted in the TD.

Part of me hopes that it was intentional and they are just trolling FF players everywhere

He also threw that ball a mile in the air. At first, I didn't think it was going to get to the end zone.

thanks lame sports science guy
How fast was the ball traveling?
How long was it in the air?
How much force compared to a dolphins pelvic thrust during intercourse did the ball hit Richard Rodgers hands with?
At what velocity did Aaron's arm swing forward? Was it comparable to a grizzly bear taking a swing at it's prey in terms of velocity?

NFL has mandatory xp in regulation rules for playoff tiebreaker scenarios. Sort of like aggregate goals in soccer, but usually with less meaning.

Now use the initial height of the ball at release, the height at it's peak, and the height when caught, factor in gravitational acceleration, and find the arc length of the throw.

I'll wait, wanna show this to Uncle Rico.

Bonus points for including air resistance.

I was telling my wife this before the game started. Rodgers has a better skill set/smarts combo than any QB EVER.

When the Lions were up 20-0, I tried to bump one of Harry Coleman Beast's Rodgers dickriding threads from earlier in the year . It was anchored, but I'd like to think I peej jinxed this one in my own way for the Lions.
