It was a play that went nowhere, but many fans caught on to Aaron Rodgers uttering the phrase "Yellow Weasel" at the line of scrimmage, caught on the microphones of the Fox broadcast when the Packers beat the Seahawks on Sunday in the NFC divisional round, 28-23.

Aaron Jones carried the ball for minimal gain with just more than 7 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

It may not rise to the popularity of "Omaha," the word Peyton Manning used in his cadence repeatedly, but it was a curious new phrase in Packers vernacular. As Jordan Dajani of CBS Sports pointed out during the game, the Seahawks defenders quickly gestured once they heard the audible and adapted quickly. It appears they knew what was coming. Here are some possibilities why:

Yellow weasel also happens to be a henchman for the bully Nelson on "The Simpsons," and Dan Patrick is already selling "Yellow Weasel" shirts on his website.

Guessing this is the last we'll see of yellow weasel. But it did give Twitter a moment to have some fun Sunday, even during the tension of the fourth quarter.
