It was meant to fix the calls that were obviously blown. Unfortunately, the new rule for 2017 where pass interference calls were challengable and subject to review has confused both NFL fans and analysts so far with its application. As games progressed on Sunday afternoon, NFL Hall of Fame coach and former Steelers player and a defensive coordinator Tony Dungy voiced his frustration with understanding the rule via Twitter.
These Pass Interference reviews by NFL officiating are not making any sense. Clear DPIs last week not overturned. Clear push off by Antonio Brown does not get overturned but Minnesota TD pass gets called back due to blocking downfield.
