People point to the 2003 season AFC Championship game where Law played Marvin Harrison very physically and shut him down as the reason for the change. My guess is that the real reason is a lot of defensive backs were playing physically and the NFL likes to promote offense. So basically the NFL decided to stop letting the Patriots get away with abusing the rules. Oh I see the Pats fan's (CavmanNick) logic, since Belichik said it then it must be true, a complete fact and you know, not just Bill's opinion and ego stroking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
