It can be very little, too late for Buffalo Bills fans.
The NFL is scheduled to introduce camera -based technology that will measure the first attempts for next season, the League announced on Tuesday.
The gangs of the chain will remain in place in a secondary paper.
The new method focuses on Sony Hawk-Eye technology, which is also used in tennis. A series of 8K cameras will determine the position of the ball on the playing field.
Previously, the side officials that hold chains would walk towards the field and measure manually if any part of the ball was playing the line to win.
The NFL said in a statement that the cameras are “an efficient alternative.”
“Combining the art of officiating with Sony’s Ewk-Eye trusted system is a healthy recipe for success in our commitment to increase precision, consistency and efficiency standards. Reproducing technology and information based on data from the Sonyeye Hawk-Eye innovations of Sony Vincent help us advance our efforts towards the future of football,” said the Vice President of NFL football operations, Vincent.
If it was in place last season, the Super Bowl could have seen it very different.
The AFC championship between the Kansas City and Buffalo Bills chiefs became a play when the Josh Allen QB was discarded in a race attempt in the room of the 41 -yard line of Kansas City.
Buffalo led 22-21 at that time, but the Chiefs took advantage of the billing and scored the touchdown of advantage on the way to a 32-29 victory.
Allen’s furtive attempt caused controversy, since several reproduced seemed to show that the great QB reached the line to win. But the referees ruled him short and confirmed the call even after the review.
Now, Hawk-Eye should have the last word.
