Aaron Rodgers has been downright masterful with his pre-snap actions and ability to score the Packers free plays by manipulating the snap count. That doesn’t mean he’s always calling out complicated audibles to fool people, however. Sometimes he just tells everyone exactly where the play is going.
Aaron Rodgers yelled what direction the Packers were running, which didn’t work at all

— Chad Wilson (@GridironStuds) September 29, 2015 Rodgers called an audible which led to one of the Green Bay lineman asking “which way.” With time running out on the play clock, Rodgers didn’t have time to spare so he just yelled out “right!” The Packers did indeed run right and it’s almost as if the Chiefs knew exactly what direction the play was going since they stopped it for a 2-yard loss. Weird.
Knowing Rodgers, this is probably all part of some long con. Next time he’s going to yell “left!” but the Packers will run right. Either that or he’s just trying to make the playing level a little more equal since his right arm is essentially an unfair advantage.
