The Jets and the refs were both surprised. The ref even asked Slater to repeat it. If you listen to the replay real close, as soon as the ref says "it's heads", you can faintly hear Slater say "we'll kick", and then the ref repeats it, as a question, kinda surprised... "You want to kick?....and Slater says "yes".
According to the after-game reports...
The coach told them to choose to kick if they won the toss...
![wtf :wtf: :wtf:](/images/smilies/images.jpg)
...and that the only confusion on Slater's part was that he wanted to choose the side of the field, and that's why he was saying, "wait, we won the toss" when the Jets picked the side of the field.
Pretty dumb-fucking amazing!!!

Like WTF would you care which side of the field you're going to be on for the OT!!!
Regardless, the Jets outplayed the Patriots on all fronts. The only thing they really screwed up on was allowing them three 4th down conversions, which kept the Patriots in the game.
