Can you link me please? I got a Raiders fan to shut up.
Here is a list of rules and when they changed. Oh and yes it was illegal to hit Brady in the helmet when Woodson did it.

According to this web site, 1996.
Hits with the helmet or to the head by the defender will be flagged as personal fouls and subject to fines. This is being done to protect the offense, particularly the quarterback.
