Posey Rule

The Posey Rule is an NFL regulation that prohibits teams from challenging pass interference calls or non-calls through video review. This rule was implemented after a controversial play in 2017 where a missed pass interference call significantly impacted the game's outcome. It aims to prevent teams from gaining an unfair advantage by challenging these subjective calls, which are difficult to review accurately with existing technology. Essentially, the Posey Rule limits the scope of video review to certain clear and objective matters, ensuring that referees’ judgment on pass interference remains final during a game.
