The discussion is over. There is nothing more to debate. Despite its denials, the NFL has unquestionably distorted its replay review system in a way that is impacting the playoff race and could potentially threaten the direction of an actual postseason game.
The latest and debate-ending evidence is the decision to reverse a touchdown catch by Buffalo Bills wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin just before halftime in Sunday's matchup with the New England Patriots. The play followed in an excruciating line of touchdown reversals this season, including two by New York Jets tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins and another by Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller that have exposed what can only be described as a shift in an interpretation of the NFL rulebook under new senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron.
