Tom Brady Calls Out Super Bowl Officiating, References Infamous ‘Tuck Rule’ Game
Super Bowl LIX brought early controversy, and Tom Brady wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts. The seven-time champion, now in the FOX broadcast booth, disagreed with a key first-quarter penalty against the Kansas City Chiefs. The call—an unnecessary roughness flag on Trent McDuffie—extended a Philadelphia Eagles drive that ultimately ended in a touchdown.
Brady compared the moment to his own “Tuck Rule” game in 2002, a controversial call that helped his New England Patriots defeat the Oakland Raiders. “I was on the end of the Tuck Rule, and I was glad Twitter wasn’t around then,” Brady joked.
With officiating under heavy scrutiny this postseason, this penalty only fueled more debate about the league’s consistency. Was this just another questionable call, or did the Chiefs get robbed of a game-changing stop?
