Don’t tell me you already forgot about the infamous tuck rule?
If the ridiculous call didn’t exist in the official rule guidelines — like it appropriately does now — Charles Woodson‘s strip-sack of Tom Brady during the 2001 division round would have cost Belichick and company their first Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Obviously, we know the tuck rule did exist (for some strange reason), and the Pats absurdly lucked out on a snowy day in Foxborough.
