The Colts lined up in an odd formation with almost all of their players off the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-3 from their own 37-yard line. What could possibly go wrong? Well, it turns out just about everything. The Colts tried a unique formation on 4th down. It didn't work. #NEvsIND http://t.co/Eh0HXpFV00 — NFL (@NFL) October 19, 2015 That was something. And to make matters worse for the Colts, Tom Brady found LeGarrette Blount for an 11-yard touchdown just a few plays later. So what the heck was Indianapolis trying to do? Former NFL punter Chris Kluwe tried to explain what he saw on Twitter. Pretty sure Colt was not expecting the long snapper to snap that. Looked like a hard count to draw them offsides. — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015 I'm betting that one was on the long snapper. You can see it in the replay - no idea that the ball was coming back. — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015 If it was the gunner as snapper, then yeah that makes sense. He either misheard the call or forgot, and snapped it instead of sitting on it. — Chris Kluwe (@ChrisWarcraft) October 19, 2015 Thumbnail photo via Twitter/@NFL Cameron McDonough | Sun, Oct 18, 2015 at 11:28pm | Categories: Cameron McDonough, New England Patriots, Top Stories | URL: http://wp.me/p2AlCJ-2dOH Comment    See all comments Unsubscribe to no longer receive posts from NESN.com.
