That’s not completely true, didn’t the refs call a penalty on the vikings after a scoring review against the packers recently?
Why non-call on Sam Darnold safety is not a reviewable play
Fouls like facemasks are not reviewable, per official NFL rules. It was not called in the moment, and Minnesota could not enact a review for the officiating crew to throw a flag retroactively.The officials did not confer after the non-call, though the Vikings were irate, including Darnold, O'Connell, and star wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Among plays that are reviewable are:
- Play situations
- Plays involving possession
- Plays involving touching of either the ball or the ground
- Plays governed by the goal line
- Plays governed by the boundary lines
- Plays governed by the line of scrimmage
- Plays governed by the line to gain
- Number of players on the field at the snap
- Game administration and consultation
- Disqualification of a player
Reviews can be used to determine whether or not an incorrect call was made for roughing the passer, intentional grounding or unnecessary roughness for forcibly contacting a runner when he is out of bounds.
