Pass Interference Rule Appears To Be Dead As It’s Not Scheduled To Be Revisited At Owners Meetings

The biggest rule news of the year last season was the decision to allow pass interference penalties—whether they were called on the field or not—to be reviewable, on a one-year trial basis to be revisited this season to decide whether or not to make the rule permanent.

After last year’s dismal failure of implementation, it doesn’t even appear as though the Competition Committee is going to entertain the discussion. It will just be taken as a given that the replay rule is dead for now, perhaps to be revisited some time in the distant future when they have a better plan, perhaps never.
