Aaron Rodgers' situation sparks questionsWeek 4 of the NFL season featured two big plays in which smelling salts were involved. In the week opener, Jason Meyers hit a smelling salt before giving the Seattle Seahawks a 23-20 last-second win with a field goal.Three days later, Aaron Rodgers did the same in the first play of that second-quarter drive. Many fans wondered if the league banned smelling salts and whether Rodgers broke a rule on Sunday.The league issued a memo about smelling salts and ammonia packets in the offseason. The NFLPA clarified in August that players can still use smelling salts, but these can't be provided by teams or team staffers.
