The NFL has updated its rules to allow replay officials to take a more active role in penalty enforcement. However, this does not extend to reviewing intentional grounding, roughing the passer, or out-of-bounds hits. They also cannot request that a penalty be called. Instead, they are authorized to recommend a penalty reversal if there is clear and obvious video evidence available. In the past, replay officials have only advised on calls like catches, possession, and down by contact, and their suggestions could be accepted or rejected by the on-field referees.

“The decision to call [Intentional grounding] was a challenging one,” declared Rich McKay, the chairman of the competition committee. “It was not our strongest call considering the complexity of the situation and the involvement of the entire officiating crew. The referee and other officials often have to confer and discuss before coming to a conclusion. Our preference would be for the designated person with access to the communication system to provide a simple answer of whether the quarterback was within the pocket or not. Any further assistance would be limited to only what was previously agreed upon in the objective rulings.”
Three types of penalties – intentional grounding, roughing the passer, and hits out of bounds – have been included on the list of plays that can be reviewed by replay officials for assistance with making calls.
On the first day of the week, the owners gave their approval for a ban on the swivel hip-drop tackle and also granted teams the ability to request a third challenge after successfully winning one challenge during a game.

The NFL owners voted on Tuesday to not only implement the replay assist expansion, but also to shift the trade deadline and make a tweak to the No. 3 quarterback position. They also approved a second trial of providing coaches with the “Hawk-Eye” feed during preseason games instead of just relying on broadcast video. This program will be fully implemented into the regular season by 2025.
The committee was particularly focused on intentional grounding, which resulted in 62 penalties being called in 2023 – the highest number in a season since 2000. The expansion of replay assist was also influenced by situations where a defender was penalized for roughing the passer due to a head hit, but replays clearly showed that the contact was below the head. This is a move towards implementing the NFL’s version of a “sky judge,” but ultimately, the on-field referee has the ultimate decision-making power.
