So ESPN posted a transcript of what happened at the coin toss. It seems like Matthew Slater thought that the ref was asking him what side of the field he wanted to defend...
Blakeman: "Heads is the call."
Blakeman: "It is heads."
Blakeman: "You want to kick?"
Slater: "We want to kick, that way."
Slater: "Hey, we won. Don't we get to choose?"
Blakeman (mic off): "You elected to kick."
...that's one way to lose a game.
