Houston — Mike Pereira admits no one is seeking his input.
But if the former NFL vice president of officiating and current Fox analyst had his way, he knows exactly which rule he would alter.
“If you ask me my opinion, it’s not going to change because nobody on the competition committee agrees with me, but I think the defensive pass-interference penalty needs to change,” Pereira said during the Super Bowl. “It’s too punitive. You have a pull of a jersey and you get 45 or 50 yards on the penalty. You put way too much pressure on the official when it’s the hardest call that has to be made on the field.
