Matt Damon and Ben Affleck Take the Fall for DeflateGate on Kimmel

As promised, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, John Krasinski and a bunch of other Boston dudes came together on Jimmy Kimmel Live Thursday night to put DeflateGate to bed once and for all before the New England Patriots take the field for Super Bowl XLIX on Sunday.

With a little help from Steven Tyler and Bill Simmons, each man took credit for deflating 11 out of 12 footballs before the Patriots’ AFC Championship victory over the Indianapolis Colts, meaning coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady are totally off the hook.

As Affleck put it, “If you don’t believe me, go fuck yourself.”
