NFL owners unexpectedly approve expanded use of instant replay to review pass interference calls
NFL owners voted to expand the use of replay Tuesday. Gerald Herbert/AP) By Mark Maske Mark Maske Sports reporter covering the NFL Email Bio Follow March 26 at 8:24 PM PHOENIX — NFL owners took a major and unexpected step Tuesday to expand instant replay as an officiating tool and address the officiating gaffe that denied the New Orleans Saints a spot in this past season’s Super Bowl.
Owners voted, 31-1, to make pass interference reviewable by replay. Both interference calls and non-calls by the officials can be reviewed, via a coach’s challenge in the first 28 minutes of each half and by booth review in the final two minutes of each half. The change was ratified on a one-year trial basis.
