In his final 4 years, which he spent with the Denver Broncos, Manning became famous for frequently shouting “Omaha!” pre-snap. And now whenever the word is mentioned, the Sheriff comes to mind.
Peyton Manning was asked about the meaning of the word “Omaha” during a press conference amidst the 2014 playoffs. And his answer had everybody laughing.
“I know a lot of people ask what Omaha means,” he said at a news conference at the time.
“Omaha is a run play, but it could be a pass play or a play-action pass, depending on a couple things: the wind, which way we’re going, the quarter, and the jerseys that we’re wearing. It varies, really play to play. So, there’s your answer to that one.”
