NFL weighs televising replay reviews before the season ends
The NFL is considering showing replay reviews to the public as soon as the coming weeks.
The league is looking at examples from the ACC and Big Ten, which have begun televising their review processes.
In July, Broncos coach Sean Payton predicted the NFL would adopt a similar approach within two to three years.
Some league officials hope the change could happen before the regular season ends, though making a major change during a season would be unusual for the NFL.
Greater visibility could help address concerns about a lack of transparency, which the league says fuels conspiracy theories.
The league is still working on how to put the change in place, and it would need to ensure the review process works properly.
The NFL is discussing televising replay reviews, potentially before the end of the regular season.
Planning is underway, according to a report by Albert Breer of SI.com.
The league has watched how the ACC and Big Ten have televised replay reviews.
The report says the change could come in the coming weeks, though making it during the current season would be unusual.
