Yeah that was weird.
Edit: Pats score late to tie it up and amd eventually goes into OT. Pats win the coin toss, but inexplicably elect to kick off. Jets march down the field for a TD and the win. It was Matthew Slater for the Pats who was the bonehead.

Downright flummoxed. I saw Belichek speaking to him how can he make that call. Well I guess Laviano's spike is now in third place.
The Patriots tried to change their mind after the coin toss but the officials didn't let them.
4th place - I'd put Kirk Cousins ridiculous kneel down last night at the end of the first half in front of the Laviano spike.
Maybe the Patriots should've reset the coin flip the same way they always reset the play clock lol.
Belichek says he wanted to kick but slater did screw up by saying kick rather than deferring and then choosing the direction to kickoff. So really not as bad as first thought. Belichek has elected to kick with the new OT rules a few other times.

“I asked him three or four times to make sure I’m not the guy that goes out there, ‘Yeah, we want to kick off!’ I asked him three or four times and he looked at me like I was concussed because I kept asking him. That’s what we wanted to do,” explained Slater. “You never question coach’s decision making. He’s the best in the business and we trust him fully.”

Belachik told him to do it.

The bolded suggestion is what happened. It was the wrong thing to say. He should have said "we want to defend this end" and then let the Jets take the ball. As soon as he said kick the decision was made.
