Which Aaron Rodgers Hail Mary was better?

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers pulled off the same miracle twice this season, completing a Hail Mary against both the Arizona Cardinals and the Detroit Lions. 

Here are the breathtaking plays side by side.

The Hail Mary against the Cardinals (left) was on the final play of the Divisional round playoff game on Saturday. Receiver Jeff Janis leapt over two Arizona defenders, including All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson, to complete the 41-yard play. Kicker Mason Crosby's extra point tied the game at 20 points, forcing overtime. The Packers would go on to lose the game, 26-20, in overtime.

The Hail Mary against the Lions (right) was the final play of a Week 13 matchup. The 61-yard completion to tight end Richard Rodgers was twenty yards longer than Saturday's throw. Rodgers had to scramble longer -- and set up the un-timed down by drawing a facemask call the play before. This one delivered Green Bay a 27-23 victory, spurring a three-game winning streak during their tough second half of the season.
