Officials said they didn’t have a clear view of an apparent face mask on Vikings QB Sam Darnold, so there was no penalty called on the play, which was not reviewable.

I get that It’s the current review, and I could see how you could potentially nitpick a play with replays if you did allow penalty review, but I also feel like this should totally have been a reviewable offense. It was definitely a safety issue, AND a scoring play. Perhaps only allow it in the case of certain penalties like this? It was a scoring play, and this is definitely a safety issue.
Things like this happening are how changes happen. Penalties that aren’t judgement calls should be reviewable.
