New on SI: NFL Vice President: Pass Interference Replay 'Failed Miserably'

The NFL opted to not renew pass interference replay in 2020 after the rule was enacted for the 2019 season. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said on Monday the league's pass-interference replay system, "failed miserably," in 2019.  Pass interference replay was introduced into the NFL after a missed call in the 2018 NFC Championship  Game between the Saints and Rams. But the implementation of PI replay wasn't well-received, and just 13 of 81 pass-interference challenges were successful in 2019.  "We saw, a year ago, when [the pass interference rule] played out, starting with myself, what we put in place last year ... Those outcomes were not good for professional football," Vincent told NBC Sports' Peter King . "Because we didn't do the proper due diligence, it played out publicly. The last thing people should be talking about is the way the game is officiated. They [officials] should be faceless objects, managi...

New on SI: Ravens Backfield Loaded Heading Into 2020 Season

Could Dobbins Make An Impact This Season Behind Ingram? The Ravens were not in the market for a running back in this year's NFL Draft, but when Ohio State's J'Kaylin "J. K." Dobbins wasn't drafted as early as some expected.  Dobbins was just too good of a player to ignore when he fell to Ravens in the second round with the 55th overall pick. Baltimore has a loaded back field heading into the 2020 season with Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and Justice Hill on the roster, but Dobbins could make an impact. He still has the potential to move up the depth chart and become a key contributor in his rookie season. Raven Quarterback Lamar Jackson has a propensity to run the ball so we are wondering if there will there be enough touches for Dobbins? Kaitlin O'Toole is joined by Raven Country team reporter Todd Karpovich and Si's Fantasy and Gambling Analyst Bill Enright.

Are they avoiding him entirely? Today's video focuses on Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews. Draft or Pass at current ADP: 45.8 (TE4)? Andrews had a phenomenal season in 2019, emerging as MVP Lamar Jackson's favorite target. Andrews finished with 64 catches for 852 yards and a position-leading ten touchdowns. Even more remarkable is that he did all that while playing only 41% of the Ravens' offensive snaps. Andrews was graded as one of the best...

Patrick Patel, one of the lawyers for Giants CB DeAndre Baker, told the New York Post  on Tuesday that Baker was playing the "Madden" video game when the 'ruckus' began in another room of the Miami-area party Baker attended last week that is the location of an alleged armed robbery. Baker, a first-round pick of the Giants in 2019, pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to eight charges related to the alleged armed robbery that occurred last week.  "Far from an individual who’s going somewhere with an alleged intent to rob somebody, an armed robbery, to go there and hook up his 'Madden' game, play the game for over an hour and then leave it there and go home," Patel told the Post. "...And this ruckus blows out in another room in this house. He doesn't have anything to do with the ruckus. He didn't even see it. The only thi...
