Calling all experts - Please settle an argument (1 Viewer)

Calling all football history experts...

Looking for some help settling an argument. There was a 6 year span of instant replay from 1986 - 1992 before it was done away with until again being reinstated in 1999. During this time period (1986-1999), whether or not plays were reviewed came from the booth and the call was made by a referree in the booth. What were the rules during this time as to what plays were "reviewable?" I'm looking for clarification specifically on pass interference penalties.

Between these years ('86-'99), was the booth able to overturn a referrees call of pass interference???? What other plays were reviewable, such as face mask, offsides... etc.????

Thank you

fixedI can't find anything online, but I am old enough to have watched the NFL back then and never remember pass interference being a reviewable play.

never....that is a judgement call and has never been reviewed....

now, something like a WR stepping out of bounds prior to a pass interference being called could be a different story....

I know because I reversed a PI call (hey, it was blatant PI!) to beat my brother for the first time in a video game.

thank you for the response. I'm looking for some sort of evidence in order to win my bet though lol

So you reversed a blatant pass interference call? Or it was blatantly not pass interference? Or there was no PI called and it was blatant? I'm kind of confused.... Anyways, No it will never happen. Not sure what kind of evidence you're looking for. This has never been done before in the past and it will never be done in the future. Can't really "prove" something will or will not happen in the future. If you find a way please let me know Saturday's Powerball numbers

Guess I'm looking for a list of the instant replay rules as they were stated in 1986

They can review to see if the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage, thus negating a pass interference call. Maybe that's what your friend was thinking.
