The final Sunday of the NFL season can lead to strange moments, with teams whose seasons will soon be over trying new things that they wouldn't normally do in a game. That's exactly what happened in Houston when the Colts pulled off something we've never seen before: they ran fake punts on back-to-back plays even though they picked up a first down on the initial attempt.
With just over four minutes left the first quarter, Colts punter Rigoberto Sanchez threw a dime to tight end Mo Alie-Cox for a first down. Usually that would lead to the offense coming back on the field, but this is Week 18 so anything goes. The Colts kept the punt team out on the field and had the snap go to one of the up backs.
