The beginning of overtime in the - game on Saturday was almost as crazy as the end of regulation.Just minutes after connected with on an improbable tied the game at 20 on the final play of regulation, the captains from both teams were called to midfield for the overtime coin to s.Maybe the ref was tired, maybe the ref was confused or maybe he was still in shock from the Hail Mary, but whatever the reason was, he Allen Iverso Jersey botched the coin to s.As the visiting team, the Packers were asked to call heads or tails. After referee Clete Blakeman attempted to flip the coin, Aaron Rodgers called tails, and that's when the chaos started. WTF? Did another coin flip? MarcusD (@_MarcusD_) The coin landed on heads, but it never flipped while it was in the air. Rodgers and his teammates started complaining immediately, so Blakeman decided to flip the coin again.Now, this is interesting Langston Galloway Jersey for two reasons:1. Nowhere in it say that coin has to "flip" during the coin to s. The only thing the rulebook says is that "The referee, in the presence of both team's captains, shall to s a coin at the center of the field."2. If Blakeman was going to flip the coin again, it's fair to think that Rodgers should have gotten to call heads or tails again.After the Tony Snell Jersey game, Rodgers situation a "debacle." Rodgers explained that he only called "tails" because he saw heads showing in Blakeman's hand and went the opposite route. It's po sible that maybe he had planned to use the same strategy on the second to s."Clete had it on heads. He was showing heads. So I called tails. And it didn't flip," Rodgers said. "It just to sed up in the air and did not turn over at all. It just landed on the ground. So obviously that was not right."Rodgers said Blakeman was in a rush because he was trying to avoid the embarra sment of what had just Killian Hayes Jersey happened."He picked the coin up and flipped it to tails and then he flipped it without giving me a chance to give me a re-call there. It was confusing," Rodgers said. "I think he was trying to avoid the embarra sment of what happened -- flip it quickly." The good news for the NFL is that the Cardinals won the flip both times. The bad news for the NFL is that Blakeman potentially didn't follow proper protocol on the second flip.Also, the NFL confirmed that Blakeman didn't have to re-flip the coin after he me sed up the first time."There is nothing in the rule book that specifies this," the league . Bruce Brown Jr. Jersey "But the referee used his judgment to determine that basic fairne s dictated that the coin should flip for the to s to be valid. That is why he re-to sed the coin." As things turned out, the Cardinals won the to s, got the ball first and immediately to score the winning .The Cardinals are now headed to the NFC Championship Game against either the Panthers or Seahawks. As for the Packers, Saturday's lo s will mark the second year in a row that they lost a playoff game by six in overtime.In January 2015, the Packers blew a 19-7 lead against the Seahawks in the game's final 2:30.
