Sunday Night Football turned into an instant classic between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers. It took a game-winning, 51-yarder from Mason Crosby as time expired for the Packers to pull off the 30-28 victory.
Captured in the moment right before and right after the kick was Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Anyone who questioned his intentions for playing this year can kindly head towards the exits after this.

Rogers was brilliant all night and posted eye-popping numbers of 16-18 for 140 yards and a touchdown when he released the ball in less than 2.5 seconds following the snap.
The Packers took an early 17-0 lead but the 49ers would rally and they took the lead 28-27 with 37 seconds left.
With no timeouts and starting at their own 25-yard line, Rodgers was able to connect with Davante Adams twice to get the Packers into range for Crosby to attempt the game-winner.
It's only Week 3 but this was a huge swing game for the Packers after their slow start to the regular season. On Sunday night, all three phases stepped up big time as Green Bay picked up a signature road win against a previously undefeated 49ers team.
Rodgers' emotion in the viral video is how many Packers fans were feeling after the narrow victory. Next up for Green Bay is a date with the Pittsburgh Steelers back at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon.
