Competition Committee Could Reportedly Limit New P.I. Rule To Coaches Challenges During Meeting Next Week

One of the major stories in the NFL this offseason was the decision earlier this year to expand replay to allow for offensive and defensive pass interference penalties to be reviewable, at least for a one-season trial run in 2019. The rule allowed for both penalties called and uncalled to be subject to review.

The impetus for the change stemmed primarily from a non-call in the NFC Championship Game that helped to decide the result of the contest when Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman committed a foul that was not called on a critical late third-down play.
