ESPYS: Patriots win Best Game, Packers get Best Play
Likely to the surprise of few, a pair of unforgettable feats from the NFL playoffs garnered some honors at the 2017 ESPYS on Wednesday night.
For their 28-3 comeback in Super Bowl LI, the New England Patriots (and technically the Atlanta Falcons) won the Best Game award.

After winning Best NFL Player earlier in the night, Aaron Rodgers grabbed another trophy as he and Jared Cook were given the Best Play award for their Hail Mary-esque pass completion to set up a game-winning field goal in the divisional round this January.
