No replay booth reviews for roughing the passer in NFL games

PHOENIX (AP) — There will be no assist from the replay booth when it comes to the NFL's roughing the passer rule.

The league's 32 teams declined to adopt a proposal from the Los Angeles Rams that would have allowed coaches to ask for a replay booth review of the often-controversial call. It was one of several potential changes discussed at the league's annual meetings on Tuesday.

Rich McKay — the NFL's Competition Committee chairman — said the league's brief 2019 experiment that allowed replay booth review of pass interference calls weighed heavily in the process.
