Face mask fouls continue to be not reviewable. It's one of the original safety rules, passed long before the NFL had its epiphany regarding player health.
All scoring plays in the NFL are automatically reviewed:
Replay officials: Confirm all plays that result in a score or turnover, and all try attempts
AMGC staff: Handle coaches' challenges and situations that fall under the NFL's Replay Assist rule
The NFL's replay system also covers:
Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted and Runner/receiver out of bounds.
The NFL's replay system has evolved over time to reduce the impact of reviews on the length of the game. Some of the changes include:
Replay Assistance Rule
Allows replay officials or designated members of the officiating team to assist on-field officials in specific situations
Expedited review
Allows the in-stadium replay official or someone in the league's command center to inform the referee in real time of a clear and obvious mistake
Coaches can still challenge rulings that are not automatically reviewed by replay officials. However, if a coach throws their challenge flag before the replay official or the team in New York make their decision, it becomes a coaches' challenge and their team risks losing that challenge.
In the NFL, the following penalties are reviewable:
Roughing the passer
For the 2024 season, a replay assistant can review roughing the passer penalties that were previously considered judgment calls for officials. The review must be based on objective parameters, such as whether the quarterback was hit in the head.
Intentional grounding
For the 2024 season, a replay assistant can review intentional grounding penalties that were previously considered judgment calls for officials. The review must be based on objective parameters, such as whether the quarterback was out of the pocket.
Other plays that are reviewable in the NFL include:
Scoring plays
Pass complete/incomplete/intercepted
Runner/receiver out of bounds
Recovery of a loose ball in or out of bounds
Touching of a forward pass
Quarterback pass or fumble [Reply]
While the noncall was awful, it probably didn't cost the Vikings the game. They would have still been in some pretty dire straights, needing 80 yards for a touchdown with very little time left and no time outs, plus a two point conversion, just to tie.
Did it suck? Sure. Would I be livid were I a Minnesota fan? Absolutely. But the main reason they lost was that they came in flat after that Detroit loss and got their shit pushed in by a lesser team. [Reply]

I was walking home from the gym watching on my phone. At least that penalty would have extended the game, and then if they get a few more first downs with a bunch of incomplete passes it would have killed another 10 minutes and I would have had something to watch for the rest of my walk. But no, the refs screwed me out of that. That's the real tragedy. [Reply]
