INDIANAPOLIS _ Giants co-owner John Mara said Tuesday that he is "skeptical" a change will be made to the NFL's instant replay during the offseason.
Mara, a member of the league's competition committee, made his comments to reporters during a break from the committee meetings, believing a replay change would not have enough support from owners. Any rules modification requires a minimum of 24 of the league's 32 owners.
NFL owners and coaches on the competition committee will continue discussions on modifications to instant replay and a variety of other topics. Discussions on instant replay stem from the missed pass interference call late in the Saints-Rams NFC Championship Game. Penalties are not currently a part of the replay challenge system, but there is increasing sentiment _ especially among fans and some coaches _ to allow coaches to challenge penalties and non-calls.
