TL;DR:
The “Shot Clock” for Replay Proposal: “Requires officials to initiate a booth review within 40 seconds of a play being ruled dead. This aims to prevent massive delays (like the 100-second wait in the Seahawks game) and stop outside TV analysts from ‘tipping off’ the league office.”
The Fumble Recovery Fix Proposal: “Treats a batted backward pass that hits the ground past the line of scrimmage as a fumble instead of a live-ball lateral. Under this rule, during the final two minutes of a half, overtime, fourth down, or 2-point tries, only the original passer (Darnold) could recover and advance the ball. If this had been in place, the Seahawks’ conversion would have been ruled a dead ball because the RB recovered the grounded pass.”
Their Goal: “Speed up the game and ensure that ‘fluke’ bounces don’t reward an offense that had its play disrupted by the defense.”
