Tom Brady’s modesty took a backseat when asked about the Patriots stellar, game-winning drive he led against the Jaguars in Saturday night’s 31-20 victory.

The dimple-chinned quarterback with the winning smile took the snap - after faking as if the ball had gone directly to running back Kevin Faulk - and threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the New England Patriots’ 31-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday night.

It was just one of his 26 completions in 28 attempts, an NFL record 92.9 per cent for regular-season and playoff games. “I’m looking for my Academy Award on that play,” said Brady, already named the MVP and offensive player of the year. “They bit on the run pretty good.”

First: whoever allowed the “dimple-chinned” description to run should be hung by the nipples with hooks. Second: every QB fake should be held against Brett Favre’s always comical and extremely ridiculous/effective pirouette fake. Hey Brady, if you continue mimicking Houdini, then the grand prize will obviously be a 4th Super Bowl trophy, you putz.
