In a game against the Buffalo Bills, New York Jets' quarterback Aaron Rodgers showed his magic touch yet again. He ended the first half with a 52-yard Hail Mary pass to wide receiver Allen Lazard. This incredible play happened when the Jets were trailing 20-10 and had the ball at their own 48-yard line. Rodgers danced around in the pocket before launching the ball toward the end zone. Lazard made an amazing leap and caught the ball despite being surrounded by Bills defenders. This touchdown brought the score to 20-16, giving the Jets and their fans a much-needed boost.

Rodgers has a history of successful Hail Mary throws. This one traveled 61.4 yards in the air, making it the longest completion by a Jets quarterback since 2016. Interim coach Jeff Ulbrich praised Rodgers, saying, "He made somebody pay again." Even Jets legend Joe Namath expressed his excitement on social media.

However, the game did not end in the Jets' favor. They lost 23-20, and Rodgers threw an interception on their final drive for the second consecutive game. Despite this, Rodgers' Hail Mary showcased his phenomenal ability to make big plays under pressure.
