The Tuck Rule

It was no surprise that the N.F.L. voted to get rid of the tuck rule. The surprise,for me,was the Steelers were the only team to vote against it!:confused:
Also, the infamous “tuck rule” was eliminated by a 29-1-2 vote. The Steelers voted against the rule change while the Patriots and Redskins abstained. The tuck rule allowed a fumbled ball moving forward in the hand of a quarterback to be called an incomplete pass. It became famous in 2001 when Tom Brady dropped a ball while starting a passing motion during a snowy 2001 playoff game against the Oakland Raiders.
