The NFL continues to face criticism over its officiating, with controversial decisions becoming a regular occurrence, especially during high-profile games. The latest uproar came after the Los Angeles Rams’ 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football, where a missed face mask call led to a game-changing safety late in the fourth quarter.

During the final moments of the game, Rams defensive lineman Byron Young clearly grabbed Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold‘s face mask, a foul that should have negated the play.

However, officials missed the call, allowing the play to stand and resulting in a safety with just over a minute left.

The no-call quickly became a talking point across social media, with fans and analysts questioning how such a blatant mistake could happen.

Among those calling for change was former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III, who turned to social media platform X to ask fans for their input on how to improve officiating in critical moments.

He launched a poll asking followers to weigh in on the best solution for addressing missed calls, especially in the closing moments of games.

Griffin‘s poll presented three options: the first suggested making all plays reviewable to eliminate any potential missed infractions.

The second took a different stance, arguing that controversial no-calls are an inevitable part of football. The third proposal was to allow reviews on all plays during the final five minutes of games, ensuring that crucial decisions don’t go unchecked.

Fan vote for the poll

As votes poured in, the option of making every call subject to review emerged as the front-runner, with 48.5 percent backing the idea.

The suggestion of reviewing calls only in the last five minutes followed with 36.7 percent, while the acceptance of no-calls as part of the game was the least popular, gathering just 14.4 percent support.

Some users even shared alternative suggestions, such as introducing a specific challenge system for missed infractions.
