INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have been the butt of many jokes Monday after their failed fourth-down attempt in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
The University of Maine football team joined in the fun when they posted a video of how to execute the play.

— Maine Football (@BlackBearsFB) October 19, 2015The Colts trailed the Patriots, 27-21, when they brought out the punt team on fourth down on their own 37-yard line. Rather than line up in their normal formation, the Colts, including punter Pat McAfee, lined up out wide to the right, with only Griff Whalen as the center and safety Colt Anderson lined up under him to take the snap.
Whalen snapped it to Anderson, who was immediately tackled, which gave the Patriots a short field to work with.
"I take responsibility there," coach Chuck Pagano said.
Now all the Colts have to do is look at the video from the Black Bears if they need to know how to run the play properly in the future.
