It took 28 minutes and 10 seconds into Thursday night's Bears-Packers game before there was a touchdown pass, and neither Jay Cutler nor Aaron Rodgers were involved (or even on the field).

With Green Bay facing a fourth-and-26 from the Chicago 27-yard line, coach Mike McCarthy sent out the field goal team. But instead of Mason Cosby attempting his second kick of the night, holder and punter Tim Masthay took the snap and flipped the ball to backup tight end Tom Crabtree, who galloped 27 yards untouched into the end zone.

The Packers led 13-0 at the half. (image via Bleacher Report).
