According to data through Week 11 provided by an N.F.L. An overall increase in penalties - 17.4 per game, up from 15.2 last regular season, according to - has disrupted the flow, with broadcasters stopping frequently to discuss them and their ramifications. It is McAulayвЂ™s job do to exactly that on broadcasts but, he said, he no longer feels comfortable predicting the outcome of a review, preferring instead just to analyze the play. вЂњAll of these plays before you did not create, now youвЂ™ve chosen to create it on this? WhatвЂ™s the difference? I mean, somebody tell us what youвЂ™re seeing.вЂќ вЂњYou get the what aboutism, which I hate, but itвЂ™s true in this case,вЂќ McAulay said. The call, which stupefied the CBS analyst Dan Fouts in Baltimore, was dubious by itself, but especially in comparison with two made later in the afternoon, when the replay center in New York, after rejecting 15 consecutive pass-interference challenges dating to Week 8, reversed decisions at San Francisco and Washington.

Jonathan JonesвЂ™s mugging of Golden Tate in Week 6. HiltonвЂ™s phantom offensive pass interference in Week 5.

Unprompted, he started listing some: Avonte MaddoxвЂ™s obstruction of Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Week 4. And now weвЂ™re left to our own devices.вЂќД«y McAulayвЂ™s estimation, about 15 or 20 mistakes this season should have been corrected by video review but were not. We will adjust if they would publicly tell us what that is and get us all on the same page going into Week 12. вЂњWhere are you? Tell us, tell the coaches. вЂњJust tell us what it is,вЂќ McAulay said of the standard.

The data supports McAulayвЂ™s assertion: Through Week 12, coaches had issued 51 challenges related to pass interference since Week 3, according to data provided by Pro Football Reference, and only six (including two on Sunday) have been overturned. To TomlinвЂ™s point, McAulay said he detected a вЂњmajor changeвЂќ with how the standard was applied, elevated to a staggeringly high bar, after two decisions were reversed - a Minnesota touchdown at Green Bay and a non-call on Pittsburgh against Seattle. ItвЂ™s going to have to be a five-car pileup, I guess, for them to overturn something.вЂќ вЂњThey said that theyвЂ™ve been told not to overturn those. вЂњHe called the officiating department and asked, вЂWhy didnвЂ™t you overturn it?вЂ™вЂќ Fangio told reporters last week at Broncos headquarters. But, Fangio said, that coach didnвЂ™t challenge the absence of a penalty because he believed the officials would see the infraction when they automatically reviewed the touchdown, as required for every scoring play. But weвЂ™ve got to be able to adjust to it.вЂќДenver Broncos Coach Vic Fangio recently detailed a conversation he had with another perturbed head coach, who, he said, thought offensive pass interference should have nullified a touchdown against his team. вЂњSitting in on every one of those meetings, I donвЂ™t know that itвЂ™s exactly what we discussed where we are today with it,вЂќ Payton said. New Orleans won, 34-31, and afterward Payton - who also unsuccessfully challenged an offensive pass-interference call on tight end Jared Cook - expressed his frustration with the video review center in Manhattan, saying that вЂњquite honestly, it wasnвЂ™t New YorkвЂ™s best game.вЂќ The call gave the Carolina Panthers a new set of downs from the SaintsвЂ™ 3-yard line. In the Superdome on Sunday, the very stadium where momentum for the new rule originated, the league enforced it against the Saints at a critical juncture, reversing a late non-call on an incomplete fourth-quarter pass and penalizing them for defensive pass interference. The rule bookвЂ™s definition - any act more than a yard beyond the line of scrimmage that вЂњsignificantly hindersвЂќ a playerвЂ™s ability to catch the ball - differs from the вЂњclear and obviousвЂќ standard. Adding video review, in effect, created separate criteria for pass interference. An infraction that might seem clear and obvious to one officiating crew might be disregarded by another. By contrast, pass interference is, by nature, subjective.
