Everyone knows Aaron Rodgers is the undisputed king when it comes to taking advantage of “12 men on the field” calls.
For years, he’s been exploiting slow or confused defensive substitutes, racking up hundreds of free yards. And when you combine those ’12-men’ penalty yards with his infamous hard count to draw the defense offsides, it’s no wonder why opponents take time to prepare for this gamesmanship.
But even the king of defensive penalty exploitation can’t win them all…
During Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots, Rodgers caught a Pats defender hustling to get off the field after a substitution.
Rodgers pressured his offense up to the line, got under center, and unlike hundreds of previous successful attempts to catch that notorious 12th man, his center was too slow to react, and New England called a timeout to save a 5-yard penalty.
Now, Rodgers is normally “Mr. Calm, Cool & Collected”, but missing out on one of his favorite in-game wins got him heated enough to drop a blaring F-Bomb for the millions of television viewers to enjoy.
Here’s Aaron Rodgers’s direct quote:
“Snap the F*CKING Football!”

Nance followed up by saying;
“That’s what I thought I heard…”
