Pay close attention to the second-to-last episode of HBO's megaseries, Game of Thrones.

You'll notice a dragon. A few crumbling buildings. And one legendary Packers passer pulling off the ultimate quarterback sneak.

Rodgers is no stranger to the Seven Kingdoms. He's a confirmed super fan who tweets more about Thrones than he does about almost anything else.

Can't wait for Game of Thrones to come back. #winteriscoming
