MOBILE, Ala. — It’s been almost two decades. Seventeen years and four days to exact. And Jon Gruden’s frustration, anger, whatever you want to call it, has not wavered.
He’ll never get over the Tuck Rule Game. Would you?
Everyone knows the tale: Charles Woodson knocking the ball loose from Tom Brady’s right hand in the 2001 AFC Divisional Round with the Raiders up 13-10 and 1:50 remaining in the driving snow. Greg Biekert pouncing on the loose ball. The Raiders thinking they had sealed a trip to the AFC Championship. The refs eventually ruling a ball seemingly tucked into Brady’s chest was actually an incomplete pass.
