The play, a simple fade route, saw Rodgers throw the ball to a spot only where the reigning offensive rookie of the year could catch it and celebrated afterward in front of the home New York crowd. In total, Rodgers ended his day at MetLife stadium 5-8 passing for 47 yards and an impressive score.
Gang Green currently lead the Giants 14-0 in the first quarter.
