“At the time, I never really thought about it because we were just trying to get the best players on the field,” Sanders said. “Now, when I watch the Patriots, I see what Bill was trying to get to. Maybe he didn’t have it all figured out back then, but you see where the idea was going. If you can find more ways to get a 260-pound man the ball [in the secondary], there’s a lot of damage you can do.”
Ten years ago today, the word’s “Tuck Rule” became a part of every NFL fan’s vocabulary as the Patriots beat the Raiders in one of the most memorable playoff games in football history. The famous play took place during the AFC Divisional Playoff game at a snowy Foxboro Stadium. Oakland cornerback Charles Woodson sacked New England quarterback Tom Brady and caused a fumble that was recovered by Oakland. Officials reviewing the fourth quarter play ruled that Brady’s arm was moving forward, making it an incomplete pass instead of an interception. The Patriots then moved the ball into field goal range to tie the game and won in overtime. Three weeks later, they won their first of three Super Bowls in four years.
