There were two people who looked incredibly dumb when the Indianapolis Colts tried to fool the New England Patriots with a trick punt formation Sunday night — head coach Chuck Pagano and wide receiver Griff Whalen. But the more we learn about the play, the more we realize Pagano needs to shoulder most of the blame.
During an appearance on WFBQ’s “The Bob and Tom Show” Tuesday morning, Colts punter Pat McAfee revealed that Whalen never got a chance to practice the trick play.
“The gunner who became the center all week was (safety) Clayton Geathers,” McAfee explained, per Steve Andress of Colts.
