NFL implements new rules changes that could have sent Steelers to playoffs in 2018

While Pittsburgh Steelers owner Art Rooney II may have gone to the annual NFL owners meeting reluctant to support changes to the instant replays rules, it would appear that he switched sides upon hearing the final proposal. The NFL announced a 31-1 vote in favor of amending the types of plays subject to review in 2019 on Tuesday, with the Cincinnati Bengals the only team to vote against the motion.

Clubs voted to expand replay review to cover offensive and defensive pass interference. The change will be evaluated after one year.
