Why did the Falcons get the OT kickoff?
The refs did the coin flip wrong.
The visiting team is supposed to call the flip.
The referee initially had the Colts call it, and tails won for the Colts.
But when the game went to commercial break, the officials realized the Falcons were actually the away team for this game in Berlin, Germany.
So they re-did the toss, and the Falcons won it that time and chose to receive.
In the end, the guys in stripes got it right, but it created a really odd situation.
