Weird doesn't even begin to describe what just happened between the New England Patriots and the New York Jets.

The Patriots, who were down by a touchdown late, had just come back to tie the game and force overtime against their AFC East rival at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. New England then won the overtime coin flip but elected to kick off instead.

You can see a video and a transcript of the mind-boggling situation between referee Clete Blakeman and the Patriots special teams captain Matthew Slater below.

Slater gave some much-needed clarification on what happened after the Patriots' 26-20 loss. He said Patriots coach Bill Belichick wanted to kick off to start overtime, and the confusion was over whether or not New England still could choose direction.
