The Green Bay Packers were quick to respond to the Dallas Cowboys' opening-drive field goal Sunday afternoon, marching 75 yards in just five plays to find the end zone.
Green Bay's go-ahead score came as the result of a second instance where Aaron Rodgers successfully toyed with the Dallas defense, the first being a quick snap to pick up a 12-men penalty and a crucial first down.
Immediately looking downfield after the Cowboys jumped offside on his hard count, the star quarterback found a streaking tight end Richard Rodgers for the 34-yard score.
In case you were wondering, nobody does it better.
Esoteric stat of the day:

Since 2012, Rodgers has 12 TDs on "free plays" due to offsides or encroachment. No other QB has more than 3.
