That's legit the rule. The team winning the toss has three options: they can choose to kick, they can choose to receive, or they can choose to defer. If they pick defer, they will make their choice at the beginning of the 2nd half. If they choose either of the other two options, then they have made their choice and their opponent will decide to kick or receive at the top of the 2nd half.
So strictly by the rule, the Rams should have been allowed their choice at the beginning of the 2nd half.
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein

they found footage with audio where Prescott did correct himself:
after saying kick twice, he said defer on his 3rd reply
But either the referee didn't hear him or Prescott already saying kick twice will not be changed by saying defer once.
Coin toss are not reviewable.
So the Rams still gets the ball first at the start of the 3rd quarter.
He said, "defense", indicating they wanted to kick the ball. Which is undoubtedly why the referee asked for clarification, at which point he repeated "defense". Listen closely. BOTH times he clearly puts the emphasis on the first syllable, as in " defense", not the second, as in "de fer". Listening to that, and not the lame excuse made for America's Team (as usual), the second syllable is clearly "fense" not "fer". **edit** And how 'bout them Cheatriots?

Tragedy this morning in the bayou. RIP... Daughter-in-law of LSU offensive coordinator dies in plane crash on way to Peach Bowl... https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...ey-mccord-killed-plane-crash/2764671001/ EDIT: Everyone here knows who Steve Ensminger is (LSU QB 1976–79), also Steve and Coach O go back a long way.

Patriots lose to the Dolphins. That's what happens when their game preparation doesn't include banned video.

Wow, what the hell happened at the Miami vs. New England game?? That's what happens when their game preparation doesn't include banned video.

SF vs Seattle was a nail biter, for sure.
There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

SF vs Seattle was a nail biter, for sure. +1 Couldn't ask for a better ending to the 100th regular season. Tough act for the postseason to follow. Game of the Year candidate, for sure.
