History

Historical Context

The AFC divisional playoff on Jan 19 2002 between the New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders ended 16-13 after officials invoked the 1999 “tuck rule,” overturning a fumble call and returning possession to quarterback Tom Brady. The controversial decision sparked a wave of criticism, contributed to the Patriots’ dynasty and led the NFL to abolish the rule by a 29-1 vote on March 20 2013.
