A new article by Andy Mailhot on Yahoo Sports raises the question of whether the NFL should implement replay reviews for roughing-the-passer penalties. The piece, published on October 29, 2026, examines the ongoing debate surrounding the controversial calls that have drawn criticism from players, coaches, and fans alike.
Currently, roughing-the-passer penalties are not subject to replay review, leaving on-field decisions final. Advocates for review argue that the high impact of these penalties on game outcomes warrants a second look, while opponents caution that adding reviews could further slow the game. The NFL has not announced any formal proposal to change the rule.
