The Colts and Falcons faced off in Germany on Sunday morning to kick off the day’s NFL Week 10 action. It wound up a fairly entertaining game and went to overtime following a game-tying field goal by Indianapolis with fewer than 30 seconds remaining. The Colts wound up victorious thanks to another monster Jonathan Taylor performance capped off by his game-winning touchdown in OT, but it didn’t go down without a truly bizarre snafu from the officiating crew.
As always, there was a coin toss to start overtime that determined who got the ball first. The referees allowed Indianapolis to make the heads or tails call; they were right and the Colts were therefore able to choose whether to kick or receive first, opting to receive. The broadcast then went to commercial.
