NFL owners meetings: Roughing-the-passer replay reportedly won't have enough support to pass

NFL owners will review, debate and vote on a number of proposals during the annual meetings in Phoenix this week. Some will pass — with at least the required least 24 votes — while others will not.

One proposal that reportedly won't have enough support to be adopted, according to NFL Network's Judy Battista: Making roughing-the-passer penalties reviewable. Initially set forth by the Los Angeles Rams, the proposal would also allow coaches to challenge roughing-the-passer calls, similar to the one-year failure of pass interference replay.

It's unclear why or which owners would oppose such a rule change, but the call became one of the most controversial points of the 2022 season after multiple roughing calls looked controversial.
