Watch: Aaron Rodgers hits Marquez Valdes-Scantling with deep ball for 78-yard TD

By Erin Walsh  |  Last updated 11/15/20

The Jacksonville Jaguars kept the Green Bay Packers scoreless through the first quarter of Sunday's game at Lambeau Field for the first time this season. However, it didn't take long for Aaron Rodgers to make up for it in the second quarter. 

On the first play of the quarter, Rodgers hit Marquez Valdes-Scantling for a 78-yard touchdown to get the Packers on the board. 

Valdes-Scantling ran by cornerback Sidney Jones and Rodgers hit him in stride around the Jaguars' 35-yard line. The wide receiver then cut across the field as one of the game officials got taken out by Jaguars safety Jarrod Wilson, which worked in Valdes-Scantling's favor. 

Valdes-Scantling has six touchdowns since 2019, and five of them have gone for 40-plus yards. Only Tyreek Hill and A.J. Brown have more in that span, according to ESPN.

The Jaguars quickly answered on a play of their own, though, with Keelan Cole returning a punt for 91 yards to give Jacksonville a 10-7 lead. 

At the time of this writing, the Packers were leading the Jaguars 14-10 with two minutes remaining in the second quarter.
