If you watched the game, you just knew those two guys were going to blow it. They both ran up to the play and immediately started looking at each other. Each guy started slowly moving his hands, and it looked like each was waiting on the other to make the call. Realizing that the "other guy" wasn't doing anything, they both decided to make a call, and they made that decision at the same time. But, they signaled different things. Funny but pathetic.
