What were Colts thinking on fourth down?

In punt formation at their own 37, Colts try trick play but get stuffed in what was deemed 'a miscommunication' as Patriots capitalize.

Indianapolis Colts punter Pat McAfee called it “one of the worst failed fakes of all time.”

Inquiring minds are dying to know just what exactly were the Colts thinking when they shifted out of punt formation to try a trick play on fourth down Sunday night. What transpired defied reasonable explanation, especially considering the Colts were trailing just 27-21 with more than a quarter to play. They were looking at a fourth-and-3 play at their own 37.
