[lovelystyle 0]

The NFL decided this offseason to make a significant change to its instant replay proce s after the were robbed of a chance to play in the Super Bowl because of an egregious mi sed pa s-interference call in the NFC title game against the . The result: Pa s-interference penalties -- both offensive and defensive, and including those that Rod Carew Jersey go uncalled -- . This is the : Yeah. That was pa s interference. Brad Galli (@BradGalli) "Just getting off the phone with the league office. They blew the call," Saints coach Sean Payton said following the lo s. "Man, there were a lot of opportunities though, but that call puts it first-and-10 and we'd only need three plays. It's a game-changing call. That's where it's at, so it's disappointing. For a call like that not to be made, it's just hard to swallow."But in light of the rule change, a game-changing play from Super Bowl LIII would have also drawn scrutiny and perhaps yielded a different outcome. Specifically: With four-and-a-half minutes to play and the Rams trailing the 10-3, quarterback threw deep to . The call on the field: incomplete pa s. But after John Parry, the referee in the game who has since retired and joined ESPN, reviewed the game for po sible mi sed Miguel Sano Jersey calls he concluded that New England cornerback would have been flagged had the play been reviewed. The subtle grab by Stephon Gilmore on the play before his interception should not be glo sed over. By the letter of the law, it's a flag. But it's not a blatant PI. It prevents Cooks from getting his inside arm to the catch point fast enough. And then Harmon finishes the play Michael Giardi (@MikeGiardi) "I think video would show that Cook's arm Glen Perkins Jersey was contacted and restricted enough to bring a flag and create a pa s interference," Parry said, via . "And that would have been in New England's red zone. So it would have extended the drive and maybe they put points on the board with four minutes to go. That would be a pretty impactful decision." Now the question becomes how seriously the league plans to enforce pa s interference. Will every ticky-tack instance of downfield contact be flagged under review? "If we're going to go by the letter of the law in pa s interference, I think that you're going to have a lot of games decided that way," coach Mike Zimmer said from the owners meeting this spring. "These are huge penalties." Meanwhile, the Canadian Football League could serve as a test case. That league has Zach Duke Jersey been reviewing pa s interference since 2014 and senior director of officiating Darren Hackwood admitted to ESPN.com that it took several years to figure out what "clear and obvious" meant. "When we started out, we were trying to call pa s Harmon Killebrew Jersey interference from the booth the same way we would on the field," Hackwood . "But five years later, we're really trying to limit ourselves to protecting against big mistakes. We're not looking for minor contact. One thing we've come to understand is there is a different standard for what's being called on the field and what we would call from the booth. When we finally came to that place, I think we were much better off than when we started. We want to take a very quick look. Is it blatant? Is it clear and obvious? Then we have to overturn. If it's anything deeper than that, we want the ruling to stand."
