Pass-Interference Replay Gets The Axe
5 years agoReplay review of pass interference will not return to the NFL in 2020, according to competition committee chairman Rich McKay. Pass-interference replay was passed for just one year and there is so little support for passing it again this year that no one will bother bringing it to a vote again. “We’re not going to vote on, because nobody is putting forward, the OPI/DPI review again. So that dies a natural death,” McKay said. Pass interference is fundamentally subjective, and the NFL tries to limit replay to objective questions like whether a ball touched the ground or whether a player's foot touched the sideline. The problem with replay review for pass interference last year is that the league officials almost never overturned what was initially called on the field. It's probably for the best, especially when it pertains to delays in the game.
