In the Hall of Fame game and in 15 of the Week One preseason games http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-cody-barton-jersey , none of the replay officials called for a replay review of any pass interference call or non-call. In the Bengals-Chiefs game on Saturday night, the replay official exercised that power. Twice.One of those decisions highlighted a key question regarding replay review of pass interference calls and non-calls: Will the ruling from NFL senior V.P. of officiating Al Riveron be influenced by the outcome of the play?With 53 seconds left in the first half and the Chiefs on the Cincinnati 17, quarterback Kyle Shurmur threw a third-down pass in the direction of receiver Byron Pringle on the right side of the end zone. Bengals cornerback Darius Phillips appeared to initiate contact with Pringle while the ball was in the air. But Pringle commited a much more obvious infraction, blatantly shoving Phillips in the head to gain separation.Phillips recovered from the push, batting the ball away for an incompletion, forcing a fourth down and a looming 35-yard field-goal attempt for the Chiefs.Replay official Darryl Lewis initiated a review of potential offensive pass interference. And the review took a long time, slamming the brakes on the game action while Riveron sorted everything out in New York.Riveron ultimately decided to let the ruling on the field stand Gary Jennings Jr. Jersey , with no call of offensive pass interference, defensive pass interference, or offseting fouls — and with no explanation provided by referee Craig Wrolstad regarding the basis for the decision.It’s hard not to wonder whether Riveron considered the fact that Pringle’s blatant shove of Phillips didn’t help Pringle make the catch. If Pringle had caught the ball, would Riveron has called OPI? Probably. If Phillips had intercepted the pass, would Riveron have determined that Phillips committed interference? Or would Riveron have decided that both players had committed fouls, wiping out the play and giving the Chiefs a do-over?In this specific case, the realistic options seemed to be: (1) call Pringle for OPI http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-phil-haynes-jersey , pushing the field goal try from 35 yards to 45; (2) call offsetting fouls, allowing the Chiefs another crack at the end zone on third down; or (3) do nothing, keeping the Chiefs at fourth down and leaving the field-goal try at 35 yards.Riveron’s ultimate choice quite possibly reflects a consideration of what happened on the field, and what the impact of his decision on the game would be. Really, how can Riveron be expected to ponder the various permutations regarding the consequences of a call or non-call of offensive and/or defensive pass interference?Right or wrong, the power to consider via replay review calls and non-calls of pass inteference gives Riveron a vague sort of Wapnerian power over the proceedings, allowing him to mete out football justice based not only on the visual evidence of a foul or no foul Ugo Amadi Jersey , but also on the impact of his decision on the broader circumstances of the game. On Saturday night, it appears that Riveron may have used this power in overlooking clear and obvious evidence of offensive pass interference, given that there may have been defensive pass interference and given that the offensive pass interference ultimately didn’t work.Like it or not, these are the kinds of issues that naturally flow from the NFL’s decision to address the very specific and narrow problem from the Rams-Saints NFC Championship game with a sledgehammer instead of a scalpel. And these are the kinds of questions that will come into focus as more and more games are played under this new reality. <em>Last week: 6-7-1</em><em>Weeks 1 through 5: 37-36-3</em>Home teams shown in bold. Odds taken from Odds Shark.Minnesota (-10) vs. ArizonaThe Vikings aren’t going to lose to a rookie QB at home again, but I do think Rosen & Co. keep this one within striking distance.<em>Pick: Arizona (+10)</em>Houston (-10) vs. BuffaloThe Texans have resurrected their season with back-to-back overtime wins, and Deshaun Watson seems to be slowly rounding back into form. He has to find a way to protect himself a little better, though.<em>Pick: Houston (-10)</em>Carolina (-1) vs. WashingtonThe Redskins are coming off a short week after getting blown out on Monday night Dwayne Haskins Jersey , and the Panthers are getting both Greg Olsen and Thomas Davis back. The Panthers take it.<em>Pick: Carolina (-1)</em>Chicago (-4) vs. MiamiIn that heat & humidity in Florida, Miami keeps it close.<em>Pick: Miami (+4)</em>New York Jets (-2.5) vs. IndianapolisThe Jets haven’t won back-to-back games in just about a year. Behind their running game and with some inspiration from the ’68 team that they are honoring this weekend, they take it.<em>Pick: New York Jets (-2.5)</em>Cleveland (-1.5) vs. Los Angeles ChargersI like Cleveland, but I like this Chargers team more. They avenge the 2016 loss in Cleveland by taking this one.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Chargers (+1.5)</em>Cincinnati (-1.5) vs. PittsburghWhenever these two get together, there’s going to be some nastiness involved. The Bengals have lost their last 6 games to the Steelers, but that ends here.<em>Pick: Cincinnati (-1.5)</em>Seattle (-2.5) vs. OaklandGames played in London are always a crapshoot, but the Raiders have so many question marks.<em>Pick: Seattle (-2.5)</em>Atlanta (-3) vs. Tampa BayMatt Ryan should have a monster day as Tampa Bay continues their fall back down to Earth.<em>Pick: Atlanta (-3)</em>Los Angeles Rams (-7) vs. Denver The Rams are the best team in football.<em>Pick: Los Angeles Rams (-7)</em>Baltimore (-2.5) vs. TennesseeThe Titans have quietly gone 12-1 in their last 13 home games David Long Jersey , and the Ravens are playing their 3rd straight road game.<em>Pick: Tennessee (+2.5)</em>Jacksonville (-3) vs. DallasIf you like offense…. don’t tune in to this one.<em>Pick: Jacksonville (-3)</em>New England (-3.5) vs. Kansas CityIf Patrick Mahomes & the Chiefs pull this one out, I will be very, very impressed. That being said, Brady & Co. deserve the benefit of the doubt.<em>Pick: New England (-3.5)</em>Green Bay (-9.5) vs. San FranciscoThe Packers have had a really odd start to their season. Both of these teams haven’t shown much, but the home team <em>needs</em> this one. After next week’s bye, they play back-to-back road games against the Rams and Patriots.
