NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers confirmed the big screen in the Bucs stadium gave him key insights against the Buccaneers which they won 14-12 on Sunday. A-Rod was talking on Pat McAfee’s famous YouTube show. He confirmed he spoke to head coach Matt LaFleur about his ‘findings’.
“I did see something on the Jumbotron. I went down and relayed it to Matt. I’m not going to get into exactly what I saw or if it even had a real impact on the play. But I just thought I saw something. I walked out. I relayed this to Matt. Whether that got related to Joe or not, I’m not sure either way it had nothing to do with the two-point conversion,” the 38-year-old said.

The former Super Bowl winner funnily referred to Tom Brady’s tablet slam incident when asked what he saw. “There was not an image of like Microsoft Surface or anything on there(Laughs). That would have been pretty funny though. But even still you know something’s coming and you relay it, you still got to go out and execute. That was what Spygate was all about. Stealing some signals, but still, you got to go out there and execute the play and in our case, stop them, but it had nothing to do with the two-point conversion,” the Packers QB added.
Aaron Rodgers reveals what he told his coach during the drive
The senior pro spoke about what he told his head coach during the two-minute drive. “I will say to clear things up. I realized we were past the point of probably needing a time-out. I think we had one time out at that point. So I walked down to Matt,” he said.
“Matt liked standing kind of outside the 25 from time to time. So I just went down there and said, hey we have one time out left. If they come out with a formation or we misalign just don’t be afraid to pop a time-out because we don’t need it for the end of this. They scored the two-point conversion. We don’t need to carry that time out over. There are 20 seconds left, which is probably unlikely we have a chance to after a play and a kickoff and different things to get in the range. So let’s just make sure we think about that and then about four plays,” the superstar explained.

What A-Rod saw made an impact?
The experienced titan added he passed on some crucial information he saw during the drive. “I also passed along some information I saw during the drive, but nothing to do with the two-point conversion. Anyway, it was not a scheduled play, anyway. So even if I’d seen someone on the surface, you still got to go and execute. We’re talking about heat-of-the-moment stuff.” he concluded.
