From Marca.com:

The controversial Tom Brady play

With 1:50 minutes to play, Brady and the Pats had the ball at the Raiders’ 42-yard line down 13-10 and with no timeouts, star cornerback Charles Woodson made a blitz that Brady did not see (the two were teammates at the University of Michigan), the quarterback was hit by the defensive back after he regretted releasing the ball for a pass and as he moved his arm toward his body, Woodson caused a fumble that essentially ended the game.

However, the play was reviewed and the call was changed to the “Tuck Rule” a previously little known rule that read as follows:

“When a player is holding the ball to pass it forward, any intentional forward movement of his arm starts a forward pass, even if the player loses possession of the ball as he is attempting to tuck it back toward his body. Also, if the player has tucked the ball into his body and then loses possession, it is a fumble.”

According to referee Walt Coleman, Brady’s arm was going forward and an incomplete pass was ruled incomplete.
