These Athletes Forced Their Sports To Change The Rules

Ron Meyer

Prior to a game between the Patriots and the Miami Dolphins, the pitch froze over the night before the game and a snow plow was used to clear the yard markers so play could go on.

During the game, no one was scoring because of the terrible conditions. Ron Meyer decided to use a snowplow in the middle of the game to secure a victory over the Miami Dolphins and plowed a short length of the field where the Patriots were about to kick a field goal. The league was forced to introduce a rule and ban snow plows from being used in the middle of the game.
