“But thanks to Mark Henderson, stadium snowblower and convicted burglar, he plowed a perfect spot right where the Patriot’s were about to kick the game winning field goal. Coincidence? I don’t think so. And guess what? The NFL didn’t do anything about it.”
It wasn’t the “game winning field goal”. The Dolphins had another possession and Shula declined the use of the snow plow which was offered when they were in field goal range. Shula was so sure that the NFL would nullify the outcome. That he made sure the Dolphins lost. Yeah and teams leave the script laying around. Just like traded players never give up what they know about the old team’s Playbook.

The incident is commemorated with an interactive exhibit at the Hall at Patriot Place within the Patriots’ current home, Gillette Stadium. The plow itself, a John Deere Model 314 tractor with sweeper attached, hangs from the ceiling at the exhibit
