New NFL replay rules will impact RPO usage in 2019

New pass interference rules

With 1:49 remaining in the 4th quarter of the 2018 NFC Championship game, New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw an incompletion that will have a lasting impact on the outcome of NFL games this season.

The score was tied at 20-20 on 3rd & 10 with the Saints possessing the ball at the St. Louis Rams 13-yard line.

Wide receiver Tommylee Lewis would run a wheel route out of the backfield and be knocked to the ground by Rams cornerback Nickell Roby-Coleman just before the pass arrived. Officials did not call pass interference on the play and the Saints would go on to lose in overtime.
