History

Historical Context

The NFL first introduced a limited instant-replay system in 1986, allowing officials to overturn calls after video review; that framework persisted through 1991 and evolved into the challenge-based system launched in 1999. Today, a Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes and the Colts overtime fumble by Laquon Treadwell was reversed under that same review process, illustrating how the 1986 rule still shapes game outcomes.
