NFL owners voted Tuesday to make pass interference calls and non-calls reviewable for the 2019 season, the league announced.

Both offensive and defensive pass interference can be challenged by coaches on the field. The replay assistant will trigger reviews in the final two minutes of halves.

Coaches across the league heavily favored the amendments, but they initially faced resistance from the owners. In the end, only the Cincinnati Bengals voted against the changes, sources told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

"I think we got it right," New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton said after the vote passed, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert.

Payton was one of the driving forces behind replay expansion. His team lost in last season's NFC championship following a blatant pass interference penalty that was missed late in the fourth quarter.

"This is what I wanted to happen," Saints owner Gayle Benson told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "(The mishap) will never happen again."

In another notable vote, the league tabled a proposal submitted by the Kansas City Chiefs to guarantee each team an overtime possession.
