Oh, how things might have changed if the play was ruled a fumble and not an incomplete pass on Jan. 19, 2002.
Yes, we have hit the 20-year anniversary of the famous — infamous — Tuck Rule game.
The Oakland Raiders were playing the New England Patriots, whose quarterback was Tom Brady. The weather was miserable, snow and freezing cold temperatures
In the fourth quarter, Raiders’ cornerback Charles Woodson tackled Brady, who initially appeared to fumble the ball that was eventually recovered by Raiders’ linebacker Greg Biekert.
If it was a fumble, it would have almost certainly sealed the game for Oakland, which led 13-10 at that point.
