Late in the fourth quarter, the Tennessee Titans made a bit of NFL history by being the first beneficiaries of the NFL’s new virtual measurement rule.
If you missed it, here it is.
If you aren’t familiar with what a virtual measurement is, here is a brief synopsis. The virtual measurement is a way for the league to use technology to determine first down markers during games, moving away from the chain gangs on the field. The league will use a system utilizing Hawk-Eye technology. This technology has long been used in other professional sports such as tennis and soccer, but was voted in for use during the offseason by the league.
With each measurement having its results displayed on the stadium's big screen, it should help speed up the game without using the chain gang and allow for a smoother flow in the contest.
