A lot of people don't understand it because it never comes up as an issue. Deferring in the NFL is quite an interesting option. In principle when a team defers they are basically saying they will take the ball in the second half. This can be interpreted as “I prefer to choose in the second half.” At this point the referee will ask the opposing team what they want to do.When he said the Packers preferred defense, they would be "choosing defense," which would mean the other team would get offense, and be able to choose which they wanted to be to start the second half. When you say defer, that means the team that lost the flip gets to choose which they want to start the game.</blockquote>
