Jets head coach Adam Gase broke some new ground on Thursday night.

Gase became the first coach to successfully challenge a non-call of pass interference in the second half of the team’s preseason opener against the Giants. A Davis Webb pass to wide receiver Tim White fell incomplete, but Gase challenged that Giants cornerback Corey Ballantine interfered with White.

Gase was rewarded with a 33-yard gain when the review found that Ballentine was holding White’s hand, which reached the standard of clear and obvious evidence of interference

A bunch of other coaches tried and failed though.
 
I watched part of that game. It was obvious, but the ref was screened off. Carl Banks commented that DBs are going to have to revise their strategy of impeding receivers when the ref can't see it. Now, the camera can see it. Then again, sometimes a blatant PI happens right in front of the ref. :rant:
