Miami Gardens --- Earlier on Sunday, long before the fake spike, Aaron Rodgers said he actually saw Dan Marino at Sun Life Stadium. So maybe that was, indeed, a sign from the football gods. Twenty years ago Marino did this to the New York Jets.

Ironic that it happened against this team.

Have to admit I was scared Adams was going to get pulled down inbounds. Loved the play, but we got a little agressive and should have went out of bounds earlier to guarantee 2 plays instead of 1.

Did you know that you can just copy/paste a YouTube URL into a post and it'll display the video?

I don't think it was ironic, I think it was a coincidence. 🙂

I watched that game on TV when Marino did that. I became a slight Marino fan at that moment.

And they pulled it off with Marino in the house!

Another irony: The Packers would go on to sign Mark Ingram after that season.

How is it ironic that the Packers signed Mark Ingram the season after Dan Marino fake spiked the New York Jets?

nice fake by the OL too. had the DL off stride.

Rodgers told the Green Bay Press Gazette that no one knew he was going to do it:

"It's one of those things that you don't really tell anybody what's going on. You're just yelling 'clock' and signaling 'clock,' and then right before I snapped it, I looked out to the right and they were way off outside. So I just kind of faked it and moved. Davante wasn't looking at me initially, but after he saw me, probably moving, he looked and I threw it."

“I was looking at Davante Adams,’’ he said from the Packers’ bus, on the way to the Fort Lauderdale airport late Sunday afternoon, “but he wasn’t looking at me. In a situation like that, you want to make eye-contact so he knows something might be coming. But not this time. He didn’t know what I was going to do.”

Part of the reason for the awesome fake is they didn't know what Rodgers was gonna do. 



Hell, Adams himself didn't know the ball was coming to him 

Rodgers said, "I told Davante, ‘I’m really proud of you.’ ”

What receiver wouldn’t want to play with Aaron Rodgers?
