As part of Texas A&M's thrilling bowl win on New Year's Eve, Johnny Manziel pulled off a miraculous escape from pressure to throw a touchdown pass. Aaron Rodgers turned in a pretty decent impression of that play during Sunday's wild-card round game against the 49ers.

On a 4th-and-2 from the San Francisco 30, down by three, Rodgers dodged what looked like a sure sack -- and what easily could have turned into a fumble -- to throw a 26-yard completion to Randall Cobb. Two plays later, fullback John Kuhn plunged into the end zone for a touchdown.

Rodgers had to escape the grasp of Ray McDonald so he could get his throw off, with Ahmad Brooks also bearing down on him.

Give an assist on that amazing effort to Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith. Just as McDonald reached Rodgers, Dietrich-Smith pulled him off the Packers' QB with a grab of McDonald's shoulder.
