"Before this season, the only feed a coaching staff could see in its booth was the broadcast footage, and depending on what window the game was played in, that view was often late and limited. Prime-time games have more broadcast cameras and, therefore, more angles to view, whereas games played in the 1 p.m. window have fewer broadcast cameras and made it particularly difficult for coaches in the booth to get a good angle on a specific play."
"Kalyn Kahler is a senior NFL writer at ESPN. Kalyn reports on a range of NFL topics. She reported about the influence of coaching agents on NFL hiring and found out what current and former Cowboys players really think about the tour groups of fans that roam about The Star every day. Before joining ESPN in July of 2024, Kalyn wrote for The Athletic, Defector, Bleacher Report and Sports Illustrated."
Coaches' challenge success rates have risen roughly 20% this season after a change allowed coaches and club staffers in the coaching booth to view the same camera feed as the replay official. The replay official’s working box is mirrored to both teams and their coaches. Previously, booth staff only saw broadcast footage, which varied by game window and often provided late or limited angles. Prime-time games offered more broadcast cameras and better angles, while 1 p.m. window games had fewer cameras and poorer views. Art McNally Gameday Central houses replay review operations and provides the replay feeds.
