This article is over 8 years old and may contain outdated information

When your own team is the only team fooled by your own trick play you know you have messed up. At fourth-and-three and their own 37 the Colts line up in a bizarre swinging door alignment. Putting all but two players on one side of the field. This play has some merit if run properly as a way to confuse the defense or get them to commit an error, but inexplicably the Colts snapped the ball to Anderson and the Patriots immediately tackled Anderson to get the ball on downs, which didn’t matter because the whole Colt’s formation was illegal anyway.

And, here is that play in Tecmo Bowl.
