Aaron Rodgers and the
Green Bay Packers were
getting crushed.
They trailed
the Atlanta Falcons by 24 points
on September 17, 2017. It was only
the second game of the National
Football League (NFL) season
for Green Bay. The Packers had
plenty of games left to improve, but
Rodgers wasnt ready to give up
against Atlanta.
Rodgers stepped back to pass.
He turned to his left and launched
the ball. It soared to
Davante Adams. Adams snagged
the ball just as he fell into the
end zone. The 33-yard pass was
the 299th touchdown throw of
Rodgerss career.

Davante Adams ( right ) runs past an Atlanta Falcons
defender to catch a touchdown pass from Rodgers.
When Rodgers joined the Packers in 2005, the team
already had a star quarterback. Brett Favre played for
Green Bay for 16 seasons. In 1997, he led the team to
victory in Super Bowl XXXI. He set many NFL records by
the time he retired from football. Rodgers mostly sat on
the bench for three years, watching Favre play.
Favre left Green Bay in 2008. Rodgers wasted no
time proving that the Packers still had a superstar
quarterback. His running and throwing power wowed
fans. Even more impressive was his accuracy. Through
16, Rodgers averaged fewer than eight
