Peyton Manning sure does like saying "Omaha" a lot. In fact, he's saying "Omaha" on almost every snap. He's saying "Omaha" so much that we can't get "Omaha" out of our minds.
It’s likely a signal to his offensive line to kill a hard count and start the actual cadence, but that doesn’t mean we’re not taking notice. Even (you guessed it) Omaha is abuzz with the attention.
We certainly appreciate all the love from #PeytonManning :) #OmahaOmaha
