Here is the transcript of the coin toss at MetLife. Seems like Slater just made a mistake. Game-changer.

this is 100% on Slater, has nothing to do with the ref
if the ref wanted to do anything to influence this game he's not letting it get to OT come on

and by on Slater I mean the call, Bellichek probably wanted to kick
only thing Slater messed up on probably was choosing kick over picking the direction

Slater says he checked a few times with Belichick to make sure he wanted to kick if they won the toss. "There's not much to it."

Matthew Slater says coach instructed Patriots to kick off at start of overtime. The only confusion was which direction they were kicking.

the "don't we get to choose" part was which direction they were kicking. They should have declared which way they wanted to go, not that they wanted to kick.

It really depends on the wind and the flow of the game. Zimmer elected to kick at home vs. the Rams when it was really windy and it worked to perfection. Your defense has to be able to stop the offense though...

Lol I just got back from dinner and this went interesting places haha. Steelers angle is interesting. I've heard that Bill wanted to do that but can't imagine why in a good weather day other than for a reason outside of the current game because that made zero sense inside that game, especially after they played much better and won the second half

3. I think I have no issue with the Patriots kicking to start overtime against the Jets. A few points: Belichick did it against Denver in New England in 2013 and won the game; Minnesota’s Mike Zimmer did it in Week 9 this year against the Rams and won the game.
