The Pittsburgh Steelers went play-action pass down near the goal line against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Aaron Rodgers turned left and saw acres of space. And he went for it.
The future Hall of Fame quarterback hadn't run for a touchdown since 2021, before his 2023 torn Achilles injury.
But here, he made it.
RODGERS. BOOTLEG. TOUCHDOWN.

This was the first-ever matchup between Rodgers and Lamar Jackson, and it was the 42-year old Rodgers scampering to paydirt.
He had a funny perspective on the play after the game speaking to reporters, too:
"It's been a long time. That was in no way the play at all. It was a play to Jonnu (Smith). The whole left side just caved in. I started running, and realized I had two larger humans chasing me that I was either equal to or slightly faster than. So that was nice to be able to get into the end zone."
Sometimes, the opportunity just presents itself. Rodgers, with his legs for the first time in a long time, seized it.
