Aaron Rodgers has done it again.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback threw a 42-yard Hail Mary on the final play of the first half of Sunday's wild-card game against the New York Giants that somehow found its way into wideout Randall Cobb's hands in the back of the end zone.

The Packers will head to the locker room with a 14-6 halftime lead.

It's payback for the 2011 postseason, the last time the Packers hosted the Giants in the playoffs. In that meeting, Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks caught a 37-yard Hail Mary touchdown on the final play of the first half to give the Giants a 10-point lead in a game they eventually won.

For Rodgers, throwing Hail Mary passes is becoming commonplace. He chucked one to tight end Richard Rodgers in the 2015 regular season, then somehow topped it with an overtime-forcing Hail Mary to backup receiver Jeff Janis in last season's playoffs.
