The Packers quarterback recognized the Redskins had too many men on the field in the second quarter of Sunday’s NFC wild-card battle, so he went under center for a quick snap. Rogers’ awareness led to a Randall Cobb 12-yard touchdown catch.

But should it have counted? Multiple Washington players on the field and coach Jay Gruden attempted to call a timeout, but Rodgers got the snap off before any officials stopped the play.
