“Well obviously, what I saw on the field, I thought the ball came out before his arm was going forward, so that’s why I ruled a fumble. Then when I got over to the replay monitor and looked, it was obvious that his arm was coming forward, he was trying to tuck the ball and they knocked it out of his hand- his hand was coming forward which makes it an incomplete pass.” ~ NFL Referee Walt Coleman after the Tuck Rule Play game, January 19, 2002.
