Aaron Rodgers explains how referees’ calls may affect games

The superstar said he does not think the NFL will kick-start the decision review process. He added the NFL might not be willing to make many changes. The Packers’ star QB added that the decision might end up like how it ended up with pass interference, in the past.

The NFL star added one decision can affect the result of the entire game. “Because, like I said, one call refereed and interpreted a certain way changed the review process on every other play. I just think that’s what’s going to happen when you have a subjective call,” he added

What A-Rod told McAfee, previously happened during the Buccaneers’ game against Atlanta. The Falcons would have gained an upper hand, had the penalty not been awarded. However, the decision went against their favor, and also the game.
