recovered the ball and seemingly won the game as New England was

behind by three points. Initially it was called a recovered fumble,

but after review was ruled an incomplete pass. (It wasn't until

after the game that referee Walt Coleman stated he was incorrect and

it was a fumble because of the 'tuck rule' and not an incomplete

pass.) The Patriots then kicked a field goal and went into overtime,

to win with another field goal.
