CFL restricts coaches’ challenges to curb video reviews
The Canadian Football League is making a call on video review.
In a news release Wednesday, the CFL announced coaches will now only be able to challenge one play per game.
The change is effective immediately, and comes after league commissioner Randy Ambrosie ordered an evaluation of the process after his latest visits to CFL stadiums this past weekend.
“Scoring is up, penalties are down, and games are shorter. The last thing we want to have in place is an artificial impediment to our fans’ enjoyment of it all,” Ambrosie said in the news release.
