Brady gets honest about the Tuck Rule game (1:16)

The famous Tuck Rule play against the Raiders may have been a mistake, according to Tom Brady. There is a time and a place for it.

Remember the Tuck Rule? Las Vegas Raiders fans, we know you do, as it's not your favorite thing to ever happen to your franchise, but just as a reminder: During the 2001 AFC divisional game, Tom Brady -- who at that point was still Drew Bledsoe's replacement Brady fumbled, the Raiders recovered, and Charles Woodson tackled him.

Brady had not fumbled. The play was ruled an incomplete pass even though Brady appeared to have tucked the ball into his chest. Adam Vinatieri kicked a field goal in overtime to give the Pats a victory. The Raiders did not win a single Super Bowl with Brady under center.

It is not much comfort to Raiders faithful that Brady whispered an admission about the game that maybe, just maybe, it was a mistake.

Brady is definitely trolling here. That makes it worse.
