Controversial penalty on pick goes against Rams in loss to Broncos
The Rams thought they had an interception. However, the officials called defensive pass interference and a Denver drive continued.
In a thrilling game, the Denver Broncos secured a 30-26 victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. One controversial moment came when Sean McVay's team believed a pass interference call favored the Broncos took away a game-winning interception by Rams defensive back Josh Wallace. Wallace seemed to snag Bo Nix's pass intended for Pat Bryant, staying inbounds to make the spectacular play.
However, a penalty flag was thrown, resulting in a defensive pass interference call that awarded Denver a first down. Despite NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay stating that he did not see any penalty on Wallace, the controversial call still stood. Rams fans and media struggled to accept the ruling, questioning the integrity of the referees' decision-making process.
Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald remained unfazed by the controversy, acknowledging that "it is what it is." The Rams now face an uphill battle as they travel to Philadelphia next and host the Buffalo Bills on October 12.
