Will the NFL modify instant replay before the 2008 playoffs?

Settled as No

No reports of modifications found

Background:

After Sunday's Pittsburgh Steelers win over the San Diego Chargers, referee Scott Green said that his crew made an errant interpretation of NFL rules that cost Pittsburgh a touchdown at the end of the game. After watching a replay, Green upheld the touchdown call. However, the officials decided to overturn the call due to a rule misinterpretation. The call did not affect the result of the game. However, many sports bettors and Hubdubbers were affected by the final score.

On Monday, Mike Pereira, the NFL's vice president of officiating said that the league was considering tweaking replay. Changes would allow the referee to take a second look at the replay after consulting with the remainder of the crew about a rules interpretation. The new replay system could be in effect for the playoffs.
