The NFL is set to expand its replay assist rules to include quarterback slides, a decision influenced by a controversial unnecessary roughness penalty involving Patrick Mahomes during the playoffs against the Houston Texans. The league's competition committee will address this and other potential rule changes during the offseason, with a focus on clarifying contact rules for sliding quarterbacks. Texans linebacker Henry To'oTo'o, who was penalized on the play, expressed frustration with the call, while analysts like Micah Parsons have called for clearer guidelines. The changes may be in effect by the 2025 regular season.
