Late in the first quarter of the Chargers' game against the Dolphins, the LA team was faced with a fourth-and-1.
The offense lined up, apparently in an attempt to draw Miami offside. But Philip Rivers saw something with the defense and felt he could get a first down on the play by audibling to a QB sneak. To inform his center of this, he yelled, "I'm going to goose you!" An on-field microphone caught the audio.
Great pickup by the #fieldmic. #PhilipRivers waived the punting unit off on 4&1, and wanted the #QBsneak. #MIAvsLAC @BleacherReport #NFL pic.twitter.com/QLmsv0JT1L

The funny exchange (to us) was actually a pretty serious moment for Rivers. There was no defensive lineman in the way of a QB sneak, which Rivers confirmed by later saying directly to his center what he planned to do.
Unfortunately for the Chargers, the center wasn't paying attention and didn't snap the ball, causing the play clock to run out.
