PHOENIX — Down two wide receivers, on the road, on a short week - it didn't matter. The Green Bay Packers found a way to overcome, beating the Arizona Cardinals 24-21 Thursday night.
But the final score may not be the most memorable part of the evening for Packers fans.
After throwing a touchdown pass to Randall Cobb in the third quarter, Rodgers was taken to the ground by the Cardinals' Jordan Phillips (who was flagged for a late hit).
The broadcast crews zoomed in on Rodgers' startled face, and instantly, a new meme was born.
Here are 12 of the best versions of this new meme we found on Instagram and Twitter this morning. Enjoy!
It wasn't a dream!
