NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said tonight that the NFL definitely will not change a rule that penalizes teams for throwing an illegal challenge flag during the regular season but could address it before the playoffs.
I dont expect it before the end of the regular season, Goodell said during an appearance at the Lions Courage House dinner. We may evaluate it as it relates to the postseason. But it certainly will get consideration by the competition committee in the off-season.
Goodell said its important the NFL not rush to a decision on how to rework the rule.
Currently, all scoring plays and turnovers are subject to booth reviews. A team is penalized 15 yards and no automatic review is granted after an illegal challenge.
When we make any rule changes its important to look at the unintended consequences of those rules, Goodell said. Thats why the competition committee spends weeks evaluating and trying to evaluate will it have an impact on the game that were not anticipating.
Were going to look at everything, but were definitely not changing it for the regular season. Source: Detroit Free Press Attached Thumbnails
