Rams at Jaguars — Walt Coleman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walt_Coleman
Coleman made an instant replay call on January 19, 2002 in a game that lead to it becoming known as the "Tuck Rule Game". With 1:47 left, Oakland cornerback Charles Woodson knocked the ball from New England's quarterback Tom Brady. It was recovered by Oakland linebacker Greg Biekert.
The play was originally called a fumble. Coleman reviewed the play and overturned the fumble call to an incomplete pass using the tuck rule, which says that "any intentional forward movement of [the thrower's] 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." In March 2013, league owners voted 29–1 to abolish the rule.
Coleman was the head official in the 2003 AFC Championship Game between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts. Colts players later publicly complained that the officials did not properly call illegal contact, pass interference, and defensive holding penalties on the Patriots' defensive backs.
This, and similar complaints made by other NFL teams during that season, would prompt the NFL during the 2004 offseason to instruct all of the league's officials to strictly enforce these types of fouls (the "chuck" rule).
Coleman's 2017 NFL officiating crew consists of umpire Jeff Rice, down judge Derick Bowers, line judge Kevin Codey, field judge Scott Novak, side judge James Coleman, and back judge Terrence Miles.
