Brady vs Raiders brought us the tuck rule then the when he tore up his knee it ushered in a halo of QB protection, Peyton brought the hands off approach to WRs after Bellitrix pushed the envelope of the bump and run coverage to an insane measure and when the Peyton and the Colts cried about it the comp committee signed on.

Just to point out, the tuck rule was already in place. It was Brady vs Raiders that made the then unknown rule famous. It was the tuck rule that was cited as to why that wasnt a fumble in the first place. It wasnt just made up on the spot, it was already apart of the rule book prior to that game.
