Former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady will not escape this time.
The "Tuck Rule" play in a 2001 AFC playoff game against the Oakland Raiders has long plagued Brady. Brady may alter his tune as a Raiders part-owner.
McDaniels and Brady worked in New England from 2001 to 2008 and 2012 to 2019. McDaniels joined the Raiders in 2022, and Brady joined the Bucs in 2020 as a free agent.

Brady initially supported the "Tuck Rule" officials' no-fumble call. Brady evaded Woodson, his Michigan teammate, in a video.
According to the NFL rule book, a quarterback may tuck the ball during a pass to avoid a fumble.
The league eliminated the "Tuck Rule," which was under rule 3, section 33, article 2, note 2 at the time of the Brady-Woodson incident, in 2013.
