Where does Rodgers' win Sunday rank among his best comebacks?
He did it again.
Aaron Rodgers didn't have much time, but it was enough to pull off another miraculous comeback win over the Dallas Cowboys. This has become almost expected with the Green Bay Packers quarterback, who has become synonymous with never being counted out.
Even one of Rodgers' most famous losses included an incredible comeback attempt, when he drove the length of the field on back-to-back Hail Mary throws against the Arizona Cardinals in the 2015 playoffs.
Let's take a look back at Rodgers' four best comebacks and fit it in where Sunday's win ranks.
4. 35-31 vs. Cowboys (2017)
Largest Deficit: 21-7
This Sunday's win does crack his top four comebacks, but doesn't go further than that.
Rodgers' final drive included a third-down conversion he picked up with his own legs and a 12-yard touchdown toss to Davante Adams with 11 seconds remaining. He took the team 65 yards in 62 seconds for the team's third touchdown of the fourth quarter, keeping the Packers on track with a 4-1 record.
3. 31-24 vs. Jets (2014)
Largest Deficit: 21-3
At the time of this 2014 comeback, Rodgers had never resurrected his team from more than 14 points down. A Geno Smith-led Jets squad jumped out to a 21-3 lead and had the Packers settling for field goals over touchdowns until Rodgers found Randall Cobb in the end zone with eight seconds remaining in the first half.
Rodgers figured out the Jets' defense in the third quarter, throwing a pair of touchdowns to gain a 31-24 lead before the final frame. If the final quarter of this game wasn't scoreless, this could be ranked higher, but its an impressive feat nonetheless.
2. 34-31 vs. Cowboys (2016)
Largest Deficit: 3-0
Clearly Rodgers didn't need to dig deep to convince himself and his team they could overcome an early 3-0 lead, but the finish to this game will be forever associated with the quarterback's greatness.
After the Cowboys fought back from a 21-3 second-quarter deficit to tie the game at 31 with 35 seconds to go, Rodgers went to work. Facing third-and-20 from his own 32-yard line with 12 seconds remaining, number 12 rolled out of the pocket to find Jared Cook for an astounding sideline catch that set up a 51-yard game-winning kick.
With the win sending the Packers to the NFC Championship, the lack of a major deficit is easy to overlook.
1. 27-23 vs. Lions (2015)
Largest Deficit: 20-0
Having lost four of five games after an early season winning streak, it seemed like the Packers offense had stalled and their playoff chances were in doubt entering a Thursday night game in Detroit. The Lions put up 20 unanswered points to start the contest, keeping the Packers off the scoreboard for the first 39 minutes.
Down 23-14 with seven minutes to go, Rodgers went on an 84-yard drive over four minutes, capping it off with a 17-yard touchdown run to pull within two points. The Lions killed most of clock before handing the ball back to Rodgers at his own 21-yard line with only 23 seconds to play.
The game was supposed to be over, but a phantom facemask penalty with no time left gave Rodgers one more chance, 61 yards away from the end zone. On the final play, Rodgers threw one of the most perfect deep passes in NFL history, connecting with tight end Richard Rodgers for a Hail Mary touchdown.
