replay_equipReplay reversals through ten weeks are holding a steady rate of 44 percent, up about 0.6 percentage points from six weeks ago. Last year — which was the first year centralized replay was introduced — coaches saw less than 40 percent reversals, which was down from 52 percent in 2013.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera has the most challenges with 7 — and has improved his replay shutouts from prior years.
