VIDEO: Remembering The “Snow Bowl” On Its 20th Anniversary

20 years ago tonight, the New England Patriots played their final game at the old Foxboro Stadium during the 2001 AFC Divisional Playoffs against the Oakland Raiders.

The Patriots, who trailed 13-3 entering the fourth quarter, rallied for ten points in the period, forcing a tie following a 45-yard field goal in whiteout, snowy conditions by Adam Vinatieri to send the game to overtime.

Of course, in the midst of the Patriots fourth-quarter comeback while down 13-10, the game was nearly lost on what initially appeared to be a Tom Brady fumble caused by a blitzing Charles Woodson, but as the rules at the time said, it was correctly deemed an incomplete pass after a replay review due to Brady moving the ball forward when it was lost rather than if he was tucking it back towards his body.
