I doubled-checked this. It was not a new rule, but a re-emphasis of the 1978 rule. The league admitted they missed 6 PI against NE in the Pats-Colts playoff game.

As for roughing the passer, I would like to see a link for your stats. From what I’ve seen, Brady seems to get favorable calls in big games.

Correct. The PI wasn’t a rule change, it was an interpretation change. The words in the rulebook didn’t change, but the way it was called changed dramatically.
