The NFL just dropped a big one: head coaches can now delegate the challenge flag to someone on their staff for the first time ever. While it’s a small tweak, it’s already being used by the Bengals, who’ve quietly had their chief of coaching staff, Doug Rosfeld, handle all challenges since 2019 — with no penalty from the league before now. Head coach Zac Taylor joked he might get fined retroactively, but admits it’s easier for him to focus on players while Rosfeld handles the calls. With a strong success rate last season, this could be the start of a new trend in how teams manage game-changing challenges.
