The NFL is overdue for better technology to determine ball placement. Human judgment alone can lead to mistakes in deciding touchdowns or first downs, as seen during the AFC Championship when a potential scoring play went unnoticed until replay reviewed it. The technology exists to eliminate human error but hasn’t been fully adopted yet due to the league’s hesitation. If the NFL acted now, it could ensure more accurate and fair game outcomes by replacing flawed human calls with precise, digital measurements that erase doubt forever. It’s time for this necessary change—technology should be at the heart of every NFL decision.
