Here's what Sean McVay said about controversial pass interference penalty
Sean McVay briefly addressed the pivotal pass interference penalty on Josh Wallace after the game, saying it looked like a "good, competitive play."
The controversial pass interference penalty late in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's game between the Los Angeles Rams and Denver Broncos has dominated the conversation. The incident occurred on third down, granting the Broncos a fresh set of downs in the red area, which ultimately led to their game-winning touchdown by Bo Nix.
Wallace appeared to have intercepted the pass intended for Pat Bryant, but officials ruled that he had interfered with the receiver, prompting a penalty. In his brief postgame press conference, Sean McVay only addressed the penalty in passing. "I’ll look at it," he stated. "Looked like it was a good, competitive play from my vantage point, but we’ll go back and look at it and see what they say."
McVay appeared visibly upset during the broadcast, seemingly objecting to the call by shouting, "You can't call that." However, the flag was thrown, and the Broncos emerged victorious, leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of McVay and the Rams. McVay is expected to address the media again on Monday, where he may offer further insights on the play and the game after reflecting on it overnight.
Nonetheless, his stance on the matter is unlikely to change. The official's interpretation of the play, which did not seem to account for Wallace's interference, ultimately determined the outcome for the Rams.
