Rodgers Claims Nobody Knew Fake Spike Was Coming

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers claimed on his ESPN Milwaukee radio show today that nobody besides him knew Sunday's late fake spike was coming.

According to Rodgers, he simply yelled "clock," the team's code word for spike, before lining up and then instead throwing to Davante Adams. 

The play gained for the Packers 12 yards and brought them down to the six, where they'd score the game-winning TD seconds later.

Rodgers said that he didn't expect Adams to get as far downfield as he did, but figured the team getting two chances from the ten would be better than them getting two chances from the sixteen. 

Does Crosby want the Packers to make him earn his job again?

In an article recently published by ESPN Milwaukee, Packers Kicker Mason Crosby, who made a career best 89.2% of his field goal attempts this season, appeared to praise General Manager Ted Thompson's decision to sign another kicker during 2013 training camp, calling it motivation. 

“You know, it was definitely a positive. There was nothing negative about it,” Crosby said. “I think it drove me to compete with myself even more, compete with what I felt like I needed to do and just go out and really battle every day."

So yea, you hear him Thompson. Go get another kicker.
