But before Larry Fitzgerald's heroics, Aaron Rodgers had another jaw-dropping play of his own. The Packers QB completed, yet again, another Hail Mary pass to force overtime in Arizona -- which had social media in a frenzy.

I was about to work out... No way I'm moving off of this couch until this game is over... Crazy!!!
