Isaac TeSlaa remembers a Detroit Lions -Green Bay Packers game. The Hail Mary game . You remember it, too, right? Final seconds, Lions winning, 23-20. They tackle Aaron Rodgers for the apparent win, except a face mask penalty gives Green Bay an extra play. Then, on that freebie, Rodgers scrambles like a chased cockroach, gets loose, launches a bomb to the end zone that is somehow caught for a touchdown and wins the game, dropping the Lions to 4-8, and basically sinking any playoff hopes for the season.
“I went to bed,” TeSlaa recalls, “and started crying.”
