Pats required to wear training parachutes vs Jags


On Saturday night the Jacksonville Jaguars square off against the unbeaten New England Patriots in Foxboro, MA. in a second round playoff match-up. The league and the television networks want the game to be a competitive match and therefore asked the Jags to request one rule change the Patriots must adhere to make the game closer. After many ideas were rejected, both the NFL and the Jags finally agreed that every Patriots player must wear a training parachute during the game. "It's going to look like friggin' D-Day out there on Saturday night," said league rep Gary Francis.
Rules that the Jaguars presented but that were ultimately rejected included: No cleats, only socks or flip flops; Giselle must line up in the back field once every four downs; stadium lights will go dark just after Brady releases a pass; Brady can pass but it cannot be a spiral; during Pats drives the play clock will be letters, counting down from Z to A; SkyCam must be positioned two feet in front of Brady's face during the entire game and Jags coaches may use SkyCam to knock down Brady's passes.
Notes: The announcement of the parachute only decreased the spread by one point.
