The former Patriots quarterback admitted the true result of controversial fumble on The Pivot podcast.
Ever since Jan. 21, 2018, legions of Jacksonville Jaguars fans, players, coaches, and everything in between have believed they were cheated out of the first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. And arguably the greatest quarterback of all time is believing right next to them.Brady answered Jaguars legend Fred Taylor when asked if he thought linebacker Myles Jack was down during a pivotal call in the 2017 AFC Championship.
With 13:53 left in the fourth quarter and Jacksonville leading New England 20-10, the Patriots pulled out a trick play to try to find a hole in the otherwise sturdy Jacksonville defense. Quarterback Tom Brady threw a pass to wide receiver Danny Amendola behind the line of scrimmage and Amendola then threw the ball to the other sideline to set up a screen for running back Dion Lewis.
Jack sprinted to the ball, tackled Lewis from behind and forced a fumble before recovering it himself. To say it was the biggest and most impressive play of Jack's career would be an understatement, but that is a play most linebackers simply would relish making. But instead, Jack was ruled down by officials and the whistle was prematurely blown as he began to run. The Jaguars got the turnover, but the potential game-changing touchdown was impossible to score due to the down ruling. And in that decision, the rallying cry of "Myles Jack wasn't down" was born.
