  • IRVING, Texas - The NFL will consider expanding replay assist to include facemask penalties and other plays. Officials have missed several obvious facemask penalties this season, including two in a three-week span during Thursday night games.

The NFL is considering the implementation of a replay assist system for facemask penalties and other plays, as reported by NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. This initiative aims to enhance the accuracy of officiating by allowing officials to review certain calls that might be missed or incorrectly called during the game. The proposal includes expanding the use of replay to cover facemask penalties, which are often difficult to spot in real-time due to the speed and complexity of the game. This move is part of the NFL's ongoing efforts to improve the consistency and fairness of game outcomes through technological assistance. The proposal will be discussed at the upcoming NFL meetings, where league officials and team owners will decide on its adoption.
