Dan Marino, who in 1994 crushed the Jets with a fake spike, must have smiled.

BYU finished 10-3 with a bowl win versus Tulsa by calling a code red meaning a fake spike.

The Patriots won't be able to fool another team with that fake field goal, just as Marino won't be able to fool another team with his fake spike.

Like their 1994 showdown at Giants Stadium which was made famous by Dan Marino's "fake spike", this game was for first place in the AFC East as both teams entered the game with identical 5-1 records.

But Marino motioned for a fake spike to stop the clock and then threw a touchdown pass that caught the Jets' defense completely asleep.

Then, in the blink of an eye, Carroll's defense was burned by Dan Marino's fake spike and subsequent touchdown pass.

Peyton Manning is a frequent user of the fake spike, and "sold it" so well in a 2001 game against New Orleans that Triplette blew the whistle to stop the play, costing the Colts a possible touchdown.

Their 52-7 win over the Washington Redskins was criticized in particular when the Patriots scored a touchdown on a fake spike late in the second quarter.

"On that fake spike, you're supposed to play until you hear the whistle."

The Jets got off to a 6-5 start under Carroll, but in week 12, he was the victim of Dan Marino's "clock play"-a fake spike that became a Miami Dolphins game-winning touchdown.
