The NFL announced on Monday that they have adopted one of the rule changes proposed by the Detroit Lions for the 2024 season. There will be a change to the challenge system for instant replay.

Under the old system, NFL coaches were allowed to have two challenges per game. If both of those challenges were successful, the team was awarded a third challenge they could use.

The rule change—which is now official for the 2024 season—is that now a coach only needs to have one successful challenge to earn the opportunity for a third challenge.
