NFL on coin-toss flap: No need for ref to re-flip

One of the oddest moments in the Packers-Cardinals game on Saturday came after regulation ended when referee Clete Blakeman called both teams out to midfield for the overtime coin toss.

As the visiting team, the Packers were asked to call heads or tails. After Blakeman attempted to flip the coin, Aaron Rodgers called tails, and that's when things got interesting.

When Blakeman threw the coin in the air, it didn't flip. Instead, the coin stayed flat like a pancake and landed on heads.
