In 2019, video evidence of a passport interference was introduced to enable the verification of a passport recipient’s disabilities. This rule will no longer exist in the 2020 season.

Video evidence at a Pass Interference will be abolished after only one season.

In the 2020 season, coaches will no longer be able to use the red flag

No interest in a vote
The scheme was only introduced on a trial basis in the 2019 season. According to McKay, there was so little support for the Pass Interference Replay within the NFL that there is not even a vote on its continued existence: “We are not going to vote on the Pass Interference Replay because nobody suggested it. So the rule dies a natural death.”

According to McKay, the NFL wants to limit video reviews to clearly visible decisions, like whether a ball hit the ground or a player’s foot touched a sideline. Whether a recipient of a pass is obstructed, on the other hand, is often a matter of interpretation.

“We’ve tried to apply something we’ve always been afraid of: checking a completely subjective play in replay,” McKay said. In future, pass interference will again be determined exclusively by the referees on the pitch.

“No Call” was the trigger for Pass Interference Replay
The PI replay was a reaction to the 2018 NFC Championship Game in which Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis was knocked down by Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman just before the end of the game before he could catch the ball. The referee team had missed the clear pass interference. This move went down in history as the “No Call” move.

A scenario that could repeat itself next season due to the elimination of the replay rule.
