ESPN.com news services
Upset with the developments at the end of the Giants-49ers game on Sunday, commissioner Paul Tagliabue said Wednesday that the NFL will implement changes in how playoff games are officiated.
Tagliabue discussed the changes Wednesday in an interview with ESPN's Bob Ley. The interview will be aired on SportsCenter throughout the day.
On calls in dispute, the commissioner said, all officials on the field will confer. On Sunday, after the final play of the Giants-49ers game, only those officials directly involved in the play were part of the on-field conference. This change will take place immediately, starting with this weekend's four divisional playoff games.
Tagliabue also said the NFL is looking into changing what officials are looking for on field goal attempts. This change might be implemented later in the postseason.
