For Rodgers, Pack, Hail Mary is more than wing and a prayer

Not so long ago, it was a one-in-a-million play, the sort of thing a player or fan would pray about.

These days, Aaron Rodgers is turning the Hail Mary into touchdowns - and doing so at such a rate that his high-in-the-sky heaves into the end zone feel more like routine, and less like a miracle.

Three times over the past 13 months, including last week against the Giants, the Packers quarterback has dropped back at the end of a half, reared back and thrown the ball high toward the end zone. The ball has dropped on the trajectory of a javelin from the sky and landed in a Green Bay receiver's hands.
