The NFL has confirmed that referee Clete Blakeman made his own decision to repeat the coin toss prior to overtime in Saturday night's divisional playoff game between the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals. Although there is no rule requiring the coin to flip during a legal coin toss, the league said Blakeman acted out of "basic fairness" rather than a misinterpretation of protocol.
