The Dallas Cowboys recently joined 30 other NFL teams to vote in support of making offensive and defensive pass interference penalties reviewable by instant replay. The 31-1 vote which occurred during the NFL’s annual league meeting in Phoenix, Arizona puts the rule into effect on a one year trial basis. During the two-minute warning, the reviews will be handled by the replay official.
I’m an advocate for getting things right, but the NFL is chasing a slippery slope of officiating perfection. Instant replay hasn’t guaranteed proper decisions in sports and most of us believe it slows the game down.
