The NFL is contemplating a rule change that would allow for replay assistance on facemask penalties, a move that comes too late for the Minnesota Vikings, who suffered a critical missed call in a recent game against the Los Angeles Rams.
Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was penalized for a facemask that was overlooked, leading to a safety that effectively ended their comeback attempt. This incident has reignited frustrations among Minnesota fans, who feel that bad calls have historically plagued their teams.
