1. The NFL Network is premiering a new documentary titled The Tuck Rule as part of the NFL Films series The Timeline. It will be broadcast on the NFL Network on Thursday, October 5th, immediately following the game between the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.
This is a fitting time to show the documentary because it’s after a game between two teams that benefit the most from the tuck rule. The Patriots clearly went on to win the Super Bowl and start a dynasty, while the Buccaneers were able to acquire the former head coach of the Oakland Raiders in the wake of the game and win the Super Bowl the following 2002-03 season.
