Aaron Rodgers didn't know who he was throwing to on his incredible, 54-yard touchdown pass
Aaron Rodgers tossed a beautiful, 54-yard touchdown pass to Robert Tonyan Jr., but admitted afterward that he thought it was Jimmy Graham.
Aaron Rodgers delivered another magical throw in the Green Bay Packers' 27-24 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, hitting fourth-string tight end Robert Tonyan on a 54-yard pass.
The play came in the first quarter, as Rodgers danced around in the pocket, then rolled out, buying Tonyan time to get to the end zone before uncorking a precise deep throw.
The ball floated right into Tonyan's hands — his first career catch coming on a highlight-reel play in a crucial game.

However, according to NFL Network's Mike Silver, Rodgers thought he was throwing to starting tight end Jimmy Graham on the play. As it turned out, Graham had left the game with a hand injury, and the Packers subbed in Tonyan.

Unfortunately, for Green Bay, the Packers' offense stalled out in the second half, and they were unable to get crucial stops on defense to beat the Seahawks. At 4-5-1, they're long-shots to make the playoffs, but with Rodgers at the helm, anything is possible.
