"There were five after we kind of took a step back and breathed -- four of them [were] in the 1 o'clock window. Just volume and you go, 'Ah, if we had to do that one again,' just looking at it."
"I don't like hearing that. I want to play in the four o'clock window. I'm glad I'm in Denver. We should never have a work shortage in replay. Those are the things we'll try to clean up and correct, as far as people and just finding out."
"We need to evaluate staffing at that level. To find out and make sure that every game is treated the same, whether it's the prime-time game on Sunday night or Monday or Thursday, or those 1 o'clock games that are the lifeblood of our league."
During the 2025 NFL season, the league conducted 171 replay review and replay assist decisions. Troy Vincent, the NFL's executive vice president of football operations, revealed that five of these decisions were ones the league wished to revisit, with four occurring in the 1 p.m. E.T. game window. Vincent attributed this concentration to the volume of simultaneous games during that time slot. Coaches Sean Payton and Mike Vrabel, both competition committee members, expressed concern about the pattern. Payton stated surprise at the concentration of errors in early games, while Vrabel questioned whether staffing levels at the league's replay headquarters were adequate to handle the workload uniformly across all game times.
