The Colts tried a unique formation on 4th down.
It didn't work. #NEvsIND http://t.co/Eh0HXpFV00— NFL (@NFL) October 19, 2015
The good news for the Indianapolis Colts and their fans is that they did not get embarrassed in the AFC Championship game rematch against New England, actually keeping it interesting throughout and only losing by the score of 34-27.
The bad news is that they still lost the game, and they also ran the worst trick play of all-time in the process.
Apparently oblivious to the fact that the horrible fake punt is all people have been talking about since it happened, the Colts have opted to use this week as a week in which they ask Twitter to submit questions for the Chuck Pagano radio show to run on Monday night.
Asking Twitter for ideas about anything has never paid off (just ask Donald Trump), but this is particularly dumb considering what happened on Sunday night.
Predictably, it’s not going well at all.

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan do you consider the fake punt a success because no one died (that we know of)?

@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan would you consider that fake punt a bad football play or good performance art?

And the winner.

I would say that just about sums it up.
The fake punt was so bad that, less than a day later, it’s already spawning tons and tons of memes.
@PaganoShow @Colts @1070thefan can you explain this? pic.twitter.com/r0fOLUW81n

Maybe go ahead and cancel the show for today, Colts.
