As to the idea that Rodgers was “clearly trying to avoid giving up points or loss of yardage to the Vikings” - Really? Geez! What a concept! That’s only the intent every play. As to whether or not he did something against the rules… he didn’t. Having the emotional response “that’s cheap” isn’t and shouldn’t be part of rules. You run into situations like this where they didn’t violate the rules whatsoever but they were close and “they meant to” so I’ll flag it.

This is so crazy, you are saying he cheated by not violating the rule that most people would violate in that situation. I expect some fans to say that’s cheap, but officials penalizing for "avoiding a violation" is a new one. Wouldn't you have to flag every play were no penalty was called. He followed the rules when it was difficult to do so. Lets make up something to keep it “fair.” What are you kindergarten teachers?
