The second allows mics in o-linemen's pads for sound during TV broadcasts. This was modified later to require mics in the pads of either both starting guards, or the starting and backup center. I've heard Sitton and Lang comment about it in the past.
re: the second
What Rodgers is implying could be accurate then. What sort of security is on those mics? It wouldn't be a reach to think the home team could get copies of the audio to review at their leisure later.
