The first half of “Sunday Night Football” belonged to the Chicago Bears, specifically Khalil Mack. The second half belonged to the Green Bay Packers and their quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
Rodgers led an all-time great comeback. With three touchdown passes (two of which can be seen here and here), he turned a 20-0 deficit into a 24-23 win.
Twitter went nuts upon the completion of the game.

This is why you pay Aaron Rodgers.
This is why you pay Khalil Mack.
This is why (you should) pay Le’Veon Bell.
Pay your best players.
Don’t trade them or make them wait.
Pay them.— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) September 10, 2018
HOLY AMAZING FOOTBALL GAME. My heart! That was amazing even by Aaron Rodgers standards. #GoPackGo

Of course, not everyone was impressed.
Nice comeback by Aaron Rodgers … against Mitchell Trubisky. Not exactly Tom Brady coming back from 28-3 on the Falcons in the Super Bowl. Obviously Rodgers is no Brady and will never be. He's LeBron to MJ.

Well, you can’t please everyone.
