Aaron Rodgers - Expert on Everything - Explains Kadarius Toney vs. Refs in Buffalo Bills Win
Once upon a time, seekers of information check into a library. (Ask your grandparents; they'll explain.) More recently, the internet and Google because the get-informed go-to.
But in this more modern age - and in this time of need after Sunday's Buffalo Bills' wacky 20-17 win at the Kansas City Chiefs featuring Kadarius Toney's toe and Patrick Mahomes' tears -thank goodness for Aaron Rodgers, "Expert on Everything.''
Toney was called for lining up in the neutral zone on what would become a nerve-wracking lateral play from Mahomes to Travis Kelce to Toney for a game-winning TD that wasn't ... because, well, Toney lined up offsides. Period.
Mahomes cried and about lost his mind. K.C. coach Andy Reid wrongly insisted it's not his player's (or his own) responsibility to line up properly.
And now? New York Jets quarterback Rodgers, with nothing else to do (but with a $1 million paycheck to appear on TV) made his latest appearance on the "Pat McAfee Show'' ... and did nothing but muddy the waters.
"It's a tiny foul,'' Rodgers said. "The interpretation of the rule was obviously correct, but I think we all just wanna see consistency with all of these calls."
In other words, the refs got it right ... but shouldn't have called it? As if to say that Toney was "half-offsides''? (Not unlike being "kind of pregnant''?)
"Consistency''? How does "consistency'' have anything to do with something that happened once?
It's all nonsense, of course. The Chiefs first insisted that Toney wasn't offsides. Then, after it was established that he was, the Chiefs altered their story, Reid saying he was "only an inch or two'' offsides.
But now that Rodgers hath spoken? The issue is settled.
Now go ask your grandparents about that "library'' thing.
