Next season, decisions on new first defeats will also be made using the previous method. According to a press report, the new technology will not be used in the regular season until 2025 at the earliest.
The revolution has not been cancelled, but at least postponed for the time being.
The technology that will be used in the NFL to determine first downs won't be able to support referees in regular-season games until 2025 at the earliest.
A similar report from The Washington Post was shared on X by NFL insider Dov Kleiman, among others.
The NFL announced that it will use the Hawkeye system on a trial basis in some preseason games at the start of the season to determine whether a new first down has been made.
This system has been used successfully in tennis, for example, for many years.
Even in the NFL, technology can be used to make tough decisions quickly and save a lot of time.
However, this season, decisions on whether teams can start a new series of attacks will continue to be made by the somewhat old “chain gang.”
This crew has so far used an analogue chain to measure whether the required ten yards have been reached.
