Aaron Rodgers has pulled off a number of miracles on the football field, but his comeback against the Bears on Sunday night will go down as one of the most impressive of his career.

Rodgers was carted off the field in the first half of the Packers home opener, and the Bears opened up a 20-0 lead in his absence. He was announced as questionable to return with a knee injury, but with the Packers first possession of the second half, Rodgers took to the field again to lead Green Bay on a drive for a field goal for their first points of the game.
