Hot Mic Catches Eagles Predicting Packers’ 4th-and-1 Run Before Game-Sealing Stop

Broadcast audio with player admissions underscored how Green Bay’s tendencies made the late call easy to diagnose.

Overview

  • On a decisive fourth-and-1 with about 1:30 left, TV mics captured an Eagles defender shouting "inside zone this way" seconds before Green Bay ran that exact play.
  • Josh Jacobs was stuffed on the inside-zone handoff, then fumbled while attempting a pitch to Jordan Love, and Philadelphia closed out a 10-7 win at Lambeau Field.
  • Jacobs and Love said the defense "called out" the play after Green Bay had used the same quick, short-yardage call multiple times during the game.
  • Attribution of the pre-snap shout has been widely linked to defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, though outlets note it hasn’t been definitively confirmed.
  • Even a successful gain would have been wiped out by an illegal-formation flag on the play, which would have left the Packers facing fourth-and-6.
