NFL announced three major measures:
1. Enhanced Review System: The league will implement an advanced review system, allowing coaches to challenge more calls and providing additional angles for officials to review.
2. Official Evaluation: The NFL will conduct a thorough evaluation of the officiating crew from the Bengals-Chiefs game, potentially leading to disciplinary action or retraining.
3. Neutral Officiating Crews: For playoff games and critical matchups, the NFL will assign neutral officiating crews to minimize potential biases.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes responded to the controversy, saying, “We respect the Bengals’ frustration, but we earned our win. We’re focused on our next game.”
The Bengals-Chiefs rivalry has intensified, with both teams eager for their next matchup.
As the debate rages on, the NFL’s measures aim to restore faith in the league’s commitment to fair play.
