The 37-year-old still has some tricks up his sleeve.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers unleashed a devastatingly effective pump fake to open up a path on his second-quarter touchdown run during Saturday’s playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The play-action play looked dead in the water on 3rd-and-goal, but Rodgers used the well-timed pump fake to get Leonard Floyd in the air and clear his way to the end zone.
The 1-yard touchdown run capped off a nine-play, 47-yard scoring drive and gave the Packers a 16-3 lead.
Rodgers’ touchdown run was his first in the postseason since the NFC Championship Game against the Chicago Bears during the 2010 season.
The Packers are now 5-for-6 on third down and 2-for-3 scoring touchdowns in the red zone.
