Justin Tucker gives opinion on goalpost switch
courtesy cbssports.com |
All Patriots fans can remember the kick two years ago against the Ravens, when Justin Tucker kicked it up and it went over the goal post. The kick was good, and it was anything but good news for the Patriots. If this rule was in place when that kick went up, then it would of probably hit, and its anyone's guess from that point. But today, the kicker himself, Justin Tucker chimed in on Twitter to give his thoughts:
FWIW the only guys who know exactly where that GWFG went vs NE are Sam Koch and myself. Not my best kick but still inside by about a foot.

At the same time, pretty sweet that some football fans are calling this the 'Tucker Rule' haha! #honored

We all remember what happened after the kick. Wilfork got pissed, and Belichick was fined $5,000 for the almighty grabbing of the referee.
When the goal posts are extended this upcoming year, it may change a few games, or maybe just one. Either way we now have a "Tucker Rule"
