Aaron Rodgers couldn’t lead the Jets to a win on Monday but his Hail Mary pass to Allen Lazard helped him save face. The 52-yard pass from the 4x MVP was a stunner that left many in awe.

Notably, it caught the attention of Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and NBA icon LeBron James, who couldn’t hide their excitement. “Why is Aaron so good at that?” Mahomes asked on X (formerly Twitter) just two minutes after the play.

Interestingly, NBA titan LeBron James also made his way to X to say something similar about A-Rod. LeBron quickly chimed in, responding to the Chiefs QB’s Tweet by commenting, “Right!! It’s ridiculous!”
James’ endorsement echoed Mahomes’ sentiment about Rodgers’ incredible play. Remarkably, this marked Rodgers’ fourth career Hail Mary touchdown pass. And are there more Hail Marys to come? Time will tell.
Earlier, the play perfectly capped off the first half as the final action of the engrossing battle. Plays like the 52-yard Hail Mary touchdown are precisely why Aaron Rodgers is trusted by the New York Jets despite so much backlash.
