Hail Mary Trivia | GMFB

0:00 Roger.

0:01 He's going long down the near sideline for Drew Pearson.

0:04 Pearson makes the catch at the five.

0:06 Touchdown.

0:07 Would you believe it?

0:09 Staubach hit Pearson on a 50 yard touchdown.

0:12 So, we win 17 to 14.

0:14 And after the game, they just said to me, "Roger,

0:18 what were you thinking about when you threw the ball?" I I just said,

0:21 "Well, I I closed my eyes and said,

0:22 'Hail Mary.'" I'm a Catholic kid from Cincinnati.

0:24 Blessed Virgin thinks a lot of me anyway.

0:27 I got got her on the map.

0:29 And uh there's always a time in our life where we need a Hail Mary.

0:36 Did you know that Staubach to Pearson was the creation of the Hail Mary?

0:39 It's a really beautiful thing back when this country was different,

0:41 this league was different, and the Cowboys were different, too.

0:44 Aaron Rodgers did not invent the Hail Mary.

0:46 He did perfect it, though.

0:47 And we're going to do some trivia based on the Hail Mary today.

0:50 One, because apparently, I'm told today is the National Day of Prayer.

0:54 And because some people are saying prayers that Aaron

0:56 Rodgers will come back and maybe prayers that he won't.

0:59 It doesn't matter.

1:00 We're going to do it all, guys.

1:02 And we're doing a Hail Mary based segment on trivia.

1:06 Lord help us.

1:07 Manti Te'o, you are up first, my friend.

1:09 Let's see if you can get on base or even just hit a solo home run.

1:13 There you go.

1:13 I mentioned it already.

1:15 Aaron Rodgers is an amazing thrower of the Hail Mary.

1:18 And not just like once on the Packers.

1:20 This guy was throwing Hail Mary's with the Jets.

1:21 He's doing all over the place.

1:23 In his career, Aaron Rodgers has thrown four touchdowns

1:27 as time expires that went at least 40 yards.

1:30 That is the most ever.

1:33 Of those four Hail Mary receivers, Richard Rodgers,

1:37 Jeff Janis, Randall Cobb, and Allen Lazard.

1:40 Manti, which player had the most total receiving yards in their Hail Mary game?

1:47 Was it Richard Rodgers?

1:49 Was it the legendary Jeff Janis, Randall Cobb, or Allen Lazard?

1:52 Which of those four guys in the game in which

1:55 they caught the Hail Mary had the most receiving yards?

1:58 Richard Rodgers, Jeff Janis, Randall Cobb, Allen Lazard.

2:03 Randall Cobb was Aaron's favorite target when he was there.

2:08 One of his best friends.

2:09 And then there was Allen Lazard, who he just takes everywhere with him.

2:14 I got CND.

2:15 CND, guys.

2:16 I'm I'm going to go for...

2:21 Okay.

2:22 Randall Cobb.

2:23 I'm going Randall Cobb.

2:25 Uce.

2:25 I'm That's where I'm going.

2:28 Seth.

2:28 All right.

2:29 He says Randall Cobb.

2:30 Randall Cobb caught one in the back of the end zone against the Giants.

2:34 Some thought it was a pushoff.

2:36 This player had 146 yards receiving in the game.

2:39 And this player is Richard Rodgers.

2:42 How about this?

2:43 146 and what they call the Miracle in Motown.

2:47 146 was over 60 more yards than he would have in any other game in his career.

2:53 Rodgers has said it's the best, most purest ball he's ever thrown.

2:57 He compared it to hitting a golf ball perfectly.

3:00 Rodgers to Rodgers at the buzzer to beat Detroit.

3:03 Richard Rodgers the the tight end in this case

3:06 who caught the pass has Hail Marys in his bloodline.

3:09 His father, Richard senior, was the special teams captain who called the play

3:14 in the huddle for Cal's win over Stanford in 1982.

3:17 And then Aaron Rodgers went to Cal.

3:19 It's all just shaping up.

3:20 So, Manti, I would not have guessed this either, my friend,

3:23 but Richard Rodgers went for 146 and he's the answer.

3:26 Oh, it's a tight end.

3:28 Tight end.

3:28 I know.

3:29 I know.

3:30 That was tricky.

3:31 All right, Mr.

3:32 Willie Colon.

3:32 Question number two.

3:33 Manti did not get on base.

3:36 Let's see what you can do.

3:37 Aaron Rodgers is the king.

3:38 We know that.

3:39 We've talked about that abundantly.

3:40 But that doesn't mean he's always been on the winning side of Hail Marys.

3:46 Back in 2011 divisional round,

3:48 the 15-1 Packers hosted the 9-7 Giants with 6 seconds left in the first half.

3:55 Packers up 13-10.

3:57 The Giants had the ball on the Packers 37 yard line.

4:02 Here are Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.

4:06 55 yard drive from here and now instead they're going for it all.

4:13 The pass is caught for the touchdown.

4:17 Unbelievable.

4:18 Hakeem Nicks on a last second heave by Eli Manning.

4:25 All right, so Hakeem Nicks for like a hot

4:28 minute was like the best player in the NFL.

4:30 He was so dominant and his hands were so big in this stretch in particular,

4:35 nobody could stop him.

4:36 Manning, Eli Manning,

4:37 and Nicks connected on three touchdowns of 35 plus yards, just that postseason.

4:42 Tied for the most such touchdowns by any duo in a single play of all time.

4:48 Three touchdowns of 35 plus yards.

4:50 Who are the only other quarterback receiver duo to connect

4:54 on three touchdowns of at least 35 yards in a single playoffs?

4:59 Willie, is it Joe Montana and Jerry Rice?

5:02 1989.

5:03 Randall Cunningham and Randy Moss on the '98 Vikings.

5:06 Was it Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald in 2008 who would

5:09 go on to play your Steelers team in the Super Bowl?

5:13 Or was it Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill in 2021?

5:16 What do you think?

5:17 I don't know, but I can't see me.

5:19 I mean, this looks like I'm in interrogation.

5:21 This is this is the worst shot ever.

5:23 I scratched my nose.

5:24 You couldn't even see me doing it.

5:26 Oh, this is bad.

5:27 Anyway, uh I'm gonna go with C.

5:29 I'm gonna go with Kurt Warner and Larry Fitzgerald in 2008.

5:33 You think it was Kurt and Larry Fitzgerald?

5:37 The correct answer, Willie, is Kurt and Larry Fitzgerald 2008.

5:41 Willie, you saw one of those touchdowns from Kurt to Larry

5:45 Fitzgerald in the Super Bowl while you're on the sideline.

5:48 We're going to get to it eventually, but this is against Atlanta here.

5:51 Um I said this about Hakeem Nicks next earlier.

5:54 I really meant this though.

5:55 Larry Fitzgerald was the best football player

5:57 in the world for this period of time.

5:58 Respect to Troy Polamalu and all your teammates.

6:01 Nobody could do anything about Larry Fitzgerald,

6:03 including the Steelers defense, that was amazing.

6:06 He just was totally unstoppable.

6:08 Here it is.

6:09 This is late in the game for the take the lead.

6:12 This set up this Antonio catch.

6:13 What do you remember about it?

6:14 I remember sitting on the sideline.

6:15 He's going across the 50 and I didn't even see him going

6:18 to the end zone cuz we knew he was going to score.

6:20 Nobody could catch him.

6:21 Once was Troy Polamalu, Ike Taylor,

6:22 some of the fastest guys on our team, couldn't catch him.

6:24 We just grabbed that helmets and got ready for the game

6:27 with a drop and then the magic was made.

6:29 All right, Seth.

6:30 Willie is on base with a double.

6:32 Good man.

6:33 It's like you say in little league.

6:35 All right, you're scoring on a hit.

6:36 Any hit you're scoring.

6:38 So Seth up the middle for a base hit gets Willie home.

6:41 Or you could hit one onto Wavelin Avenue past left field and Wrigleyfield.

6:45 2011.

6:45 We're going to stay right there Seth.

6:48 The Chicago Bears, the pride and joy of Illinois, and please God,

6:52 let them stay in Illinois,

6:54 hosted the Chiefs in a blustery matchup at Soldier Field, 2011 Bears.

6:58 The Bears were beating the Chiefs 3 to 0 in the final seconds of the first half.

7:05 But the Tyler Palko Chiefs had the ball at the Bears 38 yard line.

7:10 You're going to see in highlights that lead up to it, 38 yard line.

7:15 Chiefs head coach Todd Haley said,

7:16 "We're not going to kick a 55 yard field goal given the conditions.

7:20 It's too windy." Instead, opted for a Hail Mary attempt.

7:24 Seth, what happened on the Hail Mary attempt from Tyler Palko?

7:29 Was it a Dwayne Bowe receiving touchdown?

7:33 Was it a Brian Urlacher interception?

7:36 A Dexter McCluster receiving touchdown, or a Julius Peppers strip sack?

7:41 Try to squint and see if you can see the answers and pick one you like.

7:46 Oh man.

7:47 Uh I don't think it's a Urlacher pick.

7:49 I don't think it's a McCluster TD.

7:51 It's A or D.

7:53 I think uh God Dwayne Bowe, it's realistic that he could do that.

7:59 Uh I'm going with the strip sack from Pepps.

8:01 That's what I'm going with.

8:02 I'm going with D.

8:03 Bare strip sack with Pepps.

8:06 Willie's on second base.

8:07 Seth Rollins at the plate.

8:10 Let's go to Kevin Harlan in the announcer's booth for the answer.

8:16 Bears have three guys defending in the end zone.

8:21 No, he threw it.

8:25 Swinging him in.

8:27 No, That's rough, man.

8:39 Shout out to Dexter McCluster.

8:41 Oh man, that just dropped.

8:42 I'm sorry.

8:43 I left you stranded.

8:44 Left you stranded, Will.

8:45 That's all right.

8:46 Urlacher was right there to make the play.

8:49 6'5".

8:49 He goes up and it goes to McCluster.

8:51 That that 38 yarder was the first touchdown pass of Tyler Palko's career.

8:55 Wow.

8:56 And it was the longest touchdown catch of McClusters' career.

8:59 Also the only touchdown of the game.

9:01 This is the worst part.

9:02 That won the Chiefs the game.

9:04 10 to three.

9:05 The Chiefs win in Soldier Field because of that ridiculous play.

9:08 But you know what?

9:10 I have two words for you, Seth.

9:11 Looking at that horrible Bears highlight, Caleb Williams.

9:14 Caleb Williams.

9:15 New money, baby.

9:16 New money.

9:17 Give me that new money, KB.

9:19 New money.

9:21 New money, baby.

9:23 Willie standing on second.

9:26 We have two outs.

9:29 We have to score.

9:32 Somebody get him in because this is an all-hands-on-deck situation it

9:35 is our highly anticipated video clue even though we had video already.

9:40 The Miracle at the Mets.

9:42 This is an NFL classic between the Browns and the Vikings.

9:47 Week 15, 1980 season.

9:49 None of you guys were born.

9:51 It doesn't matter.

9:52 It ended with a Hail Mary tipped

9:54 touchdown caught by Vikings receiver Ahmad Rashad.

9:57 Yeah.

9:58 Best friends with Michael Jordan.

10:00 Take a look at the play.

10:03 Stops the clock with one second to go.

10:08 Up in the air.

10:10 Going deep.

10:11 They're hoping Too easy.

10:13 The Vikings, they win it.

10:16 Time is run out.

10:18 Pretty awesome.

10:19 Got to love the Vikings playing a home game outside.

10:22 The Purple People-looking uniforms.

10:24 Place going nuts.

10:25 That play is ranked one of the hundred greatest games of all time.

10:29 The game.

10:30 The victory clinched the NFC Central.

10:31 I love the Central.

10:33 The NFC Central division for the Vikings and sent them to the playoffs.

10:37 To get into Hail Mary range, though, here's the question.

10:40 The Vikings needed a mini miracle to even set up that miracle.

10:45 What play set up the game-winning Hail Mary

10:48 that would become the Miracle at the Met?

10:51 Was it A.

10:52 Tommy Kramer 34 scramble?

10:53 B.

10:54 A Joe Senser hook and lateral to Ted Brown.

10:57 C.

10:58 Was it a toe drag catch by Ahmad Rashad who went to catch the Hail Mary?

11:04 Or D, pass interference against Clarence Scott.

11:07 Let's go Seth.

11:08 Let's go Manti.

11:09 Let's go Willie.

11:10 What set up the Hail Mary?

11:12 Ah jeez.

11:13 I mean the PI is boring.

11:14 So I'm going to go with uh I'm gonna stick with Ahmad, man.

11:17 I'm gonna stick with Ahmad Rashad.

11:19 I'm gonna go C.

11:20 Toe drag.

11:20 Yeah, I don't think they caught pass interference that often back then.

11:23 So, I'm going to leave that out.

11:26 Uh, you know what, Seth?

11:27 I want to go toe drag swag with you, too.

11:31 I'm going I'm going see you, too.

11:33 Come on.

11:34 Come on.

11:34 Come on, Willie.

11:35 Come on, Willie.

11:36 I don't like it.

11:38 I don't like it at all.

11:40 Uh, I'm going I'm going A.

11:42 Tommy Kramer 34 yard scramble.

11:44 Okay, here's how it sets up.

11:45 Guys, before I roll the clip,

11:47 I'm going to tell you it was not pass interference.

11:49 So, we can eliminate D.

11:52 So Willie says the 34 yard scramble.

11:56 Manti and Willie say to Manti and Seth say toe drag catch by Ahmad Rashad.

12:03 We're hoping for a scramble.

12:05 We're hoping for a toe drag catch.

12:07 The only bad scenario here is if it is a hook and ladder.

12:10 Let's find out.

12:11 Charlie Jones and Len Dawson with the answer.

12:13 I don't think they had hook and ladder back in the playbook back there.

12:18 Oh, they did.

12:21 No!

12:23 Out of bounds.

12:32 Was that a real hook and ladder or a tipped ball?

12:34 Did they do that on purpose, bro?

12:35 That's like a That's like a Travis Kelce lateral.

12:38 That was a Travis Kelce ladder.

12:40 That was so smooth.

12:41 Travis Kelce right there, bro.

12:42 Give me it again.

12:43 Run it back.

12:44 What the heck, bro?

12:45 Run that plate back.

12:46 Run it again.

12:47 That was a designed hook and ladder play, bro.

12:49 Boom.

12:50 Oh, that was just heads up play.

12:52 Yes, it was.

12:53 He looked right at the receiver.

12:54 That was clean, man.

12:56 Dude, and Willie standing on second.

12:59 You guys can't hit anything.

13:02 You can't put one in play.

13:05 Bunch.

13:05 Where's Mike?

13:06 Where's Mike G at?

13:08 We need him.
