The NFL brought in replay assist back in 2021 in a move that allowed replay officials and selected members of the refereeing department to have their say when it comes to on-field calls - in certain game situations.
At present, replay assist is used during games when there is clear and obvious video evidence, such as a foul, a complete or incomplete pass, and touching of the ball or a line.
Last year, replay assist was expanded to other areas, including fouls for hits heading out of bounds and fouls for blows to the head.
