The Tuck Rule: Remembering one of the NFL's most controversial moments with former Raiders QB Rich Gannon

It's known as the game that birthed the Patriots dynasty...But if a particular play had been upheld as a fumble instead of being ruled an incomplete pass, would New England still have went on to claim so many Super Bowls? It's an answer we'll never know and that's thanks to the 'Tuck Rule'. 18 years later, Rich Gannon, the quarterback on the opposite side of Tom Brady on that unforgettable snowy night in New England, helps us to remember one of the most infamous games in NFL history. Gannon details how good that Raiders team was, the emotions of that fateful play and what went wrong for Oakland in the aftermath.

If this game brings up a sense of sports nostalgia, then you're in luck. On Friday, April 17, at 10 pm ET, CBS Sports Network will be re-airing the 2001 Divisional Round matchup between the Raiders and Patriots, otherwise known as 'The Tuck Rule Game'.
