NFL Rule Changes

20 Mar

In football today, the NFL owners voted to get rid of the “tuck rule”. This is good news because it was nonsensical. Basically, if a quarterback was going to throw the ball, but then decided not to, and the defense knocked it out of his hands, instead of being ruled a fumble (which it obviously was), it was called an incomplete pass. Most fans had never heard of the rule until it was used (in the Patriot’s favor) during Tom Brady’s initial playoff run in a game against the Raiders. Now, it will be a fumble. Yay for common sense.
