Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was back for his weekly interview on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. Among the topics discussed by the popular podcast host and the controversial quarterback was the New York Giants' mind-boggling decision to execute a quarterback sneak when right up against their goal line on third down. Rodgers, much like the rest of us, was utterly baffled by the team's decision to sneak in that situation, and hilariously explained what would happen if Packers head coach Matt LaFleur called a similar play in that scenario, via Ari Meirov.
Add Aaron Rodgers to the list of people who have no idea what the #Giants were doing calling a QB sneak on 3rd-and-9.
“Call that one in Matt [LaFleur] and let’s see what happens. That sh*t ain’t flying.”

After ripping Joe Judge and the Giants for their questionable decision-making during their Week 18 loss, Rodgers joked about what he would do if LaFleur told him to run a sneak in that situation.
“Call that one in Matt [LaFleur] and let's see what happens. That s*** ain't flying.”
Rodgers didn't hold back one bit when taking a shot at Judge and the Giants, though he's far from the only one. The play was heavily scrutinized by fans and media members alike across social media. Rodgers has the exact same thought process as the rest of us when it comes to that decision.
He made very clear that if LaFleur called that play for him and the Packers, he would certainly call an audible, or even a timeout in order to draw up something better.
Rodgers and the Packers will have an extra week of rest before their playoff run gets underway, but you can guarantee that one play you won't see during the Divisional Round matchup is a QB sneak from right outside Green Bay's end zone.
