New York Jets star quarterback Aaron Rodgers had quite a bit to say about the call during the Iowa-Minnesota game that overturned Cooper DeJean’s 54-yard punt return go-ahead  touchdown.

During one of his frequent appearances on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Tuesday afternoon,  Rodgers expressed his disagreement with the call. 

“That was the most ridiculous call that I saw last week, nothing about this says fair catch,” Rodgers said. “He’s pointing at it for his gunners to get out of the way.” 

Following Saturday’s 12-10 loss against Minnesota, Iowa players, coaches, and fans were left with more questions than answers. 

Despite a horrific offensive performance, cornerback Cooper DeJean looked to have saved the day again late in the fourth quarter. By rule, the officials reviewed the play. The video boards showed DeJean was in-bounds, and Iowa fans continued to celebrate. 

But, referee Tim O’Dey stunned everyone inside Kinnick Stadium by ruling DeJean had made an invalid fair catch signal. During his return, DeJean  made a waving motion with his left arm and pointed with his right  to tell his teammates to get away from the bouncing football. The referees ruled the motion of his left arm was illegal, resulting in a dead ball and pushing Iowa back to the 46-yard line where DeJean first recovered the punt. 

While DeJean was making his dash toward the end-zone, Minnesota players never stopped and continued to chase the 6-foot-1 defensive back. Minnesota coach PJ Fleck didn’t protest the initial no-call on the field. 

“All they were looking at was did he step out,” Rodgers said of the review. “And then they’re going to go back and waive this thing off? Absolutely ridiculous call.”

The Iowa offense couldn’t get in field goal range and lost the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy for the first time since 2014. 

Rodgers has been a part of several infamous calls himself. In 2012, while a member of the Green Bay Packers, he was involved in the dubious “Fail Mary” play against the Seattle Seahawks. 

“I feel terrible for [DeJean] and for Iowa fans,” Rodgers said.
