Why weren’t the Saints able to challenge that call? If that’s not part of the rules then the rules need to be changed to allow ANY call to be reversed. This was one of the worst years of bad calls.

Cannot challenge a non call. What do you challenge?

Especially in the last 2 minutes of a half, it seems like “the league” should automatically review major penalties, and / or coaches should have a renewed (?) right to challenge one major penalty call. The technology is certainly there for “New York” to make an initial determination to review further or “continue play”, within 20 seconds after the flag is noted (either by those doing the review of by the TV coverage), so as not to interrupt the flow of the game too much. (If the offensive team snaps the ball in under 20 seconds, the preliminary review is aborted.
