Did Geno Smith call heads or tails? ‘Blue,’ says Seattle coach Pete Carroll

RENTON — So, did Seahawks backup quarterback Geno Smith call heads or tails for the coin flip prior to overtime in Monday night’s game against the 49ers?

Even Seattle coach Pete Carroll on Tuesday sounded a little unsure — though in the giddy aftermath of the team’s stunning 27-24 overtime win over previously undefeated San Francisco he also didn’t seem to be giving the matter a lot of serious thought.

“How about that?’’ Carroll said with a smile when asked what he heard Smith say, a question that briefly dominated social media Monday night as many thought Seattle’s backup quarterback said tails while referee Alex Kemp immediately declared that Smith called heads.
