In 2002, the Tom Brady reign in New England began with the help of the infamous tuck rule. Twenty years later, ESPN will take a deeper look into the tuck rule, the 2002 AFC Divisional Round and the origins of the New England Patriots dynasty with The Tuck Rule documentary. With help of Charles Woodson, obert Kraft, Bill Belichick, Tedy Bruschi, Troy Brown, Willie McGinest and others, ESPN will break down the infamous play and discuss how it has impacted the NFL landscape today.
“The Tuck Rule is certainly one of the most controversial calls in the history of sports, but it may also be one of its most consequential. It proves that one moment, this moment, any moment, can change our lives – just as it did for Brady and Woodson twenty years ago today. It was awe-inspiring to hear these two friends talk with each other about that moment for the first time in their lives,” The Tuck Rule co-director Ken Rodgers said in a press release.
“Their emotions about that night are still fresh.”
The Tuck Rule will debut on February 6, 2022 on ESPN. Check out the first teaser for the upcoming 30 For 30 documentary below.
