NFL competition committee is recommending a proposal for a one-year trial of expanding reviewable plays to include pass interference, roughing the passer and unnecessary contact on defenseless player. https://t.co/7yZ4oCvbfm

The proposed replay rule changes would allow pass interference calls to be reviewable. There would also be an extension of automatically reviewed plays including scoring plays and turnovers that were negated by a penalty.

The league will review 16 proposals altogether at Sunday's meetings, including seven from the Competition Committee and nine submitted by teams.
