A Coach's Fight for Fair Play

He watched the play many times and believed his team should have won. McDermott said the NFL made a mistake. He thought the players and fans deserved an explanation. He was upset that the officials did not review the play carefully. He wondered why the head official did not look at the replay.The coach usually does not complain about calls. But this time, he felt strongly that the call was wrong. He said his team would not just accept it. He wanted a better process for reviewing important plays. There is a question about how the NFL reviews plays. Some think the process should be more open. They want to know who makes the final decision. The NFL has a system where officials in New York make the final call. But sometimes, the process is not clear. McDermott's words made people think about fairness in football. He wanted the NFL to be more open about how they make big calls. His fight for fairness could change how the NFL handles important plays in the future.
