What did Aaron Rodgers see on the jumbotron to beat Tom Brady in Week 3? Redditor comes up with wild theory
In a rare sight, Aaron Rodgers defeated Tom Brady in Week 3. Green Bay Packers fans claimed that the quarterback mounted the feat simply because he was better that day. Others, meanwhile, claimed his team may have received an unfair tip via the Jumbotron.
One Reddit user claimed the quarterback noticed the Jumbotron showing Brady's tablet, which had a diagram of a two-point conversion play. He then informed LaFleur who was able to relay the information for the correct counter and effectively block the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' attempt before it began.
Ohhhh. Tom Brady and tablets are the new Hatfields and McCoys https://t.co/pLVl4MZONy
