There was only 2:39 left on the clock for Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to pull off what would be a historic comeback to open the Packers’ 100th season. It was enough, and the Packers (1-0, 1-0 NFC North) stunned the Bears 24-23 (0-1, 0-1 NFC North) off a 75-yard touchdown from wide receiver Randall Cobb, after trailing 17-0 at halftime.
"I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle – victorious."
