Quite possibly the most ill-advised fake punt in NFL history, social media let the franchise and head coach Chuck Pagano have it after the play call backfired.
After the game, Pagano called the swinging gate fake punt call a ‘complete cluster’ and shouldered the blame:
I still think that fake punt could have worked if there wasn't one guy blocking 5 Patriots.
