Reviewable plays

In American football, some plays can be looked over to ensure the right call was made on the field. This step is taken to protect the game’s purity and ensure the results are as fair as possible. Here is a list of what reviewable shows are:

The official review:

There are plays that the officials will look at naturally without a coach challenging them. These include plays that score plays that lead to turnovers, and plays that happen in the last two minutes of each half or OT.

In the NFL, the video official in the booth can also start a review of certain plays even after the two-minute warning if they think it’s in order.

The Coach’s Challenge:

Coaches can question certain plays by waving a red flag on the field. They can take on two tasks per game; if both of them work, they can take on a third.

Coaches can’t question plays during the two-minute warning and OT because the officials start all the reviews at those times.

Reviewable Parts:

Many things about a play can be looked at again, such as whether a pass was full or incomplete, whether a player was in or out of bounds, where the ball was, whether a player was down by contact and whether there was pass interference.

The list of plays that can be reviewed may differ at different football levels and teams, such as the NFL and NCAA.

How to Review:

Officials look at video footage during a review to see if there is strong proof to support or reject the call made on the field.

The review process is meant to be as quick as possible, not to slow down the game, but accuracy is the most important thing.

What the Review Found:

They can either uphold, overturn, or confirm the call on the field based on the proof.

What the officer doing the review says is the final word, and play continues based on what they decide.

This review system helps ensure that officials don’t make mistakes and that important calls, especially ones that could change the game’s result, are made correctly as much as possible.
