How Many NFL Officials Does It Take To Toss A Coin ???

Are you referring to the overtime coin toss involving an NFL referee, and Pittsburgh Steelers captain Jerome Bettis, about ten years ago? The new procedure calls for the referee to ask the captain to call heads or tails prior to tossing the coin instead of while it’s in the air. It also calls for two other officials to remain for the coin toss after they escort the captains onto the field. I'm not a big football fan, nor do I follow NFL rule changes, but I remember this incident, and found it to be very interesting.
