On Thursday evening, NFL officials missed Los Angeles Rams linebacker Byron Young grabbing Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold's face mask en route to a sack in the end zone and a safety late in the fourth quarter, propelling L.A. to a 30-20 win.

Now comes word from Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio (after reaching out to NFL Vice President of Communications Brian McCarthy via email) that making face mask penalties reviewable will "likely" come up for discussion after the season.

"Yes, it's likely that face mask will come up this offseason," Brian McCarthy told Florio in an email Friday.
