In case you didn’t watch Sunday Night Football you missed perhaps, and I am being 100% serious, the dumbest play in the history of the NFL. Forget the butt fumble, that’s not even close to the top now.
On 4th-and-3 down by six in the third quarter from their own 36-yard-line the Colts lined up and attempted this…

Needless to say everyone was left scratching their heads and wanting an explanation.
After their ensuing loss Colts Coach Chuck Pagano met the media and, well, we’re still quite not sure what happened…

Of course, this being the Internet people on Twitter were having a WHOLE lot of fun with the head-scratching play call.

That was essentially a Madden glitch, an email to EA and a restart.

Michigan ran the second-worst special teams play of the weekend. Think about that.

If Chuck Pagano were to get fired today it wouldn’t be the most surprising thing to ever happen in the NFL. After all, there was that fake punt call last night and no way it could EVER beat that.
