Patriots' Chung Talks Fake Punt

BOSTON (CBS) - The play left a lot of Patriots fans scratching their heads.

A fake punt on the Patriots own 38-yard line with just 1:06 left before halftime in a 7-3 playoff game.

Some cannot get over it. For the man who called the play, that day has long passed.

'"Thats behind me, that was behind me the day I cleared it up" Patriots safety Patrick Chung said from Mulcahey Elemntary School in Taunton. "The play's over, I'm on to the next one. I'm looking forward to this offseason and game by game after that. I'm not worried about it."
