NFL Owners To Vote On Whether To Make All Ejections Reviewable 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed May 16, 2018 10:53 pm

The NFL will vote on a proposal to make all ejections subject to review.

The rule is part of a larger effort to discourage players from lowering their helmets to initiate contact.

Assuming it is approved, a replay review will be required for all ejections, whether they result from a violation of the helmet rule, throwing a punch or any other flagrant act.

The proposal is similar to what a group of special-teams coaches suggested during a May 2 meeting at NFL headquarters.
