Yanny or Laurel? Geno Smith's OT coin toss call under social media scrutiny

RENTON, Wash. -- As if the Seattle Seahawks' 27-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night wasn't wild enough -- with four-plus quarters of back-and-forth football, a combined seven turnovers and two defensive scores -- the overtime coin toss has produced the NFL's version of the great Laurel versus Yanny debate.

Geno Smith did, in fact, call heads to give the Seahawks possession when referee Alex Kemp’s silver dollar landed that way. The television copy above leaves little doubt. But his call is entirely ambiguous on other videos, including this one.
