Los Angeles Rams head coach Jeff Fisher couldn’t find his challenge flag in the third quarter of a 26-10 loss against the New England Patriots in Week 13.

However, he eventually found the flag and won the challenge. Fisher explained why he couldn’t locate his flag. He explained that it was “hilarious,” via NESN.com.
“I keep my flag in my back right pocket in my coaching pants, and I was a little underdressed in the first half. I started getting cold, so I put some wind pants on and then I put a jacket on, and then I had this really long jacket.”
During the game, Fisher was wired for NFL Films. When he wanted to challenge the play, he had to verbally tell the referees.
“I had taken the challenge flag and I stuck it in one of the pockets of this big jacket,” he said. “I walked up to the official and said, ‘I want review that catch. I think it’s catch.’ And he goes, ‘Well, where’s your flag.’ And I said, ‘Well, it’s right here.’ And then I could feel it but I can’t find it. And he goes, ‘Well, you need the flag.’ And I go, ‘Just tell Jerome (Boger) that I’m challenging this and I’ll eventually find it for you.’”
Those deep pockets will come in handy when Fisher collects the money he is guaranteed from his new two-year extension with the team.
The Rams are currently 4-8 on the season, and they have a Week 14 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
