In a move that seems rather obvious, and even more comical, the NFL has announced that it will be making slight changes to officiating procedures when the 2015 postseason rolls around. The change was recommended unanimously by the NFL competition committee and approved by Roger Goodell.
The change? Have more communication with New York -- more specifically, NFL Vice President of Officiating Dean Blandino regarding calls and rules that are not available to review. Here's the wording from the NFL:
For the 2015 Postseason, consultation may occur between the Referee and the VP of Officiating or his designee located in the league's officiating headquarters in New York regarding the correct application of playing rules.
