REPORT: NFL Is Considering Drastic Rule Change For 2023
It looks like there may be changes coming to the NFL rulebook regarding hits on quarterbacks and defenseless players as soon as next season.
Indeed, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said there have been some discussions among some league owners that such hits may become reviewable and subject to automatic ejections.
He noted that any rule change would need to be voted on during the March annual league meetings.
"The officials have been very consistent and accurate, but they are human," Vincent said when discussing the potential for such reviews, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
NFL officiating mistakes and controversies have been an issue for a long time, and 2022 is nothing new. There have been several questionable «roughing the passer» calls that largely affected the outcomes of games.
