Patriots Snow Plow

Playing in a heavy snowstorm at New England's Schaefer Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the two teams remained scoreless late into the fourth quarter. With 4:45 left to go in the game and on-field conditions worsening, Patriots coach Ron Meyer directed snowplow operator Mark Henderson to clear a spot on the field specifically for placekicker John Smith. Matt Cavanaugh held for the kick. Miami coach Don Shula protested furiously but the field goal was good and the Patriots won the game by the final score of 30. The game ball was awarded to all-pro linebacker Steve Nelson, who subsequently donated it to his alma mater, North Dakota State University. Henderson also received a game ball from a gracious Meyer after the game.

So I guess that was one of the first Dirty Plays for the Patriots. It was totally legal back then because there was no rule to state otherwise. The rule was enforced in 1983. 3-0 Patriots win!!!
