Adrian Peterson didn't think that was a face mask penalty (and other social reaction to the Packers' crazy win)
The Thursday Night Football game between the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions, well,
it had a finish.
Aaron Rodgers hit Richard Rodgers for a 61-yard Hail Mary touchdown with zeroes on the clock, one play after a controversial face mask penalty extended the game after time had expired.
Oh, there was some social media reaction from the sports and celebrity world. Adrian Peterson, whose Minnesota Vikings would have benefited greatly from a Packers loss, shared his thoughts (and corrected his heat-of-the-moment mistake):
Lol, i'm sorry but a thumb hitting the face mask isn't pass interference! Heck of a play =

December 4, 2015 A certain celebrity fan of the Green Bay Packers wasn't really bothered by the call:

December 4, 2015 Two former Wisconsin basketball teammates were at odds over the call: the Houston Rockets' Sam Dekker, a Wisconsiner and Packers fan, and the Charlotte Hornets' Frank Kaminsky, a Chicagoland native and Chicago Bears fan:

December 4, 2015With all that being said I think Rodgers is the only QB that can make that last play. Unreal sequence.

December 4, 2015 Others also didn't agree with the call, whether or not they were happy about it:
