Report: NFL to Consider Proposal for Coaches' Challenges on Judgment Calls

The NFL competition committee is expected to consider a plan that would allow for limited coaches' challenges on what they deem incorrect judgement calls, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. The plan could also include a penalty or time run off if the coach is wrong, in order to get more support for the reported proposal.

With the disincentive or penalty to even question a judgment call, the proposal argues that such challenges will rarely be used or abused.

The proposal was floated as a possible measure to avoid the type of missed call that was seen in the NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams.
