There were several moments during between the and that were hard to believe -- Green Bay on their final drive and still lost, after all -- but the crazine s of the overtime coin to s might be unrivaled.We're referring, of course, to referee Clete Blakeman's to s that never rotated before it fell to the ground. Blakeman
Antoine Bethea Jersey immediately picked up the coin and flipped again. The won the to s for a second time and went on to a dramatic . and lamented it was "unfortunate it comes down to that." So what does the NFL think? Dean Blandino, the league's vice president of officiating, said Blakeman handled an unusual situation in the proper manner."I've never seen in football where the coin didn't actually flip," Blandino said on NFL Network's NFL Total Acce s on Tuesday. "And although the rulebook doesn't specifically state that it must rotate, I think common sense would dictate that the coin has to flip in order to have a coin to s. I thought (Blakeman) did the best job he could with what he had and common sense would dictate that we would flip it again."Makes sense to us. Then again, the NFL is extremely fortunate the won the to s in both instances. If Green Bay won the first to s, then lost the second (then the game), we are talking controversy that would make 's catch/non-catch from last year look adorably slight in comparison.Really, we should all be thankful for this.
