You’ll be hearing the word “Omaha” through your television speakers upwards of 30 times during the Super Bowl after Peyton Manning and the Broncos won the AFC Championship game Sunday — but we still don’t know exactly what Manning means when he makes the call.

Back in 2014, Manning gave a very coy explanation about his signature yelp.

“I know a lot of people ask what Omaha means. Omaha is a run play, but it could be a pass play or a play-action pass depending on a couple things: when, which way we’re going, the quarter and the jerseys that we’re wearing. So it varies, really, play to play. So, that’s — there’s your answer to that one.”

Manning’s longtime teammate Reggie Wayne gave a more in-depth explanation of the term Sunday on NFL Network.

“Omaha means… he’s going the other way. If it’s a run to the right, if it’s dive right, Omaha is going to be dive left.”

Wayne might be protecting his old friend’s secrets, but such a simple answer would explain why Manning will say Omaha so often before a single snap. Changing the direction of a play multiple times before the snap — and according to Wayne, five Omahas! would have the same result as one Omaha! — would make it more difficult for opposing teams to figure it out.
