It is good to see the NFL now reviews spots border line on line of gain and now facemask potential penalties. I though they have been quick to rule on no first downs or a first down in NY.
Facemasks should be quick as well. The tough part will be checking for a facemask penalty off the ball. As we know, lots of facemasks occur on other players besides the ball carrier. I like it.
In the age of gambling, it is one more counter motive to stop a compromised ref from determining the outcome of a game.
As for the length the NFL can go to look at a ref's bank records, not an easy lift to get a warrant on a whim of simply thinking a ref is making calls to ensure one team covers the spread.
Maybe an attorney can weigh in on the ease of checking a private citizen's bank records without probable cause.

2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
