Today’s podcast explores the NFL's technological future, including how specific stadiums and even the Super Bowl have spent years testing optical tracking solutions during live games. After a controversial ruling on Josh Allen’s fourth-quarter QB sneak in last week’s AFC Championship game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, I break down why an optical tracking system for line-of-gain rulings is more difficult than NFL fans may think. I also look at how the NFL’s in-game technology stack currently works, the role of sports betting in the debate for optical tracking in the NFL, and how additional technology could change the NFL as an entertainment product.
