NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Rams head coach Sean McVay stated that the pass interference call on cornerback Josh Wallace was a bad call, as confirmed by the NFL league office.
- The penalty negated Wallace’s interception with just over a minute left, costing the Rams possession while leading 26-23.
- Instead of the Rams likely securing the win, the penalty gave the Broncos first-and-goal, leading to a touchdown and a 30-26 Broncos victory.
- Wallace did make contact with Broncos receiver Pat Bryant, but it was minor and commonly uncalled, while Bryant admitted to flopping to draw the flag.
- McVay highlighted the call as one of the biggest controversial penalties this NFL season, with the league acknowledging the flag should not have been thrown.
