The NFL adopted a new rule recently allowing NFL coaches to now challenge offensive pass interference (OPI) and defensive pass interference (DPI). The coach can throw the red challenge flag to try to overturn a perceived bad call, or one that was not originally called on the field. In the final two minutes of either half, those judgments are left up to the booth to determine. On paper, the change looks fantastic due to the horrid non-call in the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams NFC Championship game this past season. While it looks fantastic on paper, they do not play the game on paper.
The genie is coming out of the bottle with the NFL’s decision to replay interference
