NFL Owns Up to Controversial Mistake in Rams-Broncos Week 3 Game

Rams' Sean McVay claims the NFL admitted that the wrong call was made on a controversial play in their Week 3 loss to the Broncos.

The Los Angeles Rams recently faced a controversial ending in their Week 3 game against the Denver Broncos. During the final moments of the fourth quarter, Rams cornerback Josh Wallace had what could have been a game-winning interception, but a pass interference call negated the play. While the Broncos had three timeouts and could have potentially regained possession, the Rams needed only one first down to essentially secure the victory.

Instead, the Broncos scored a touchdown on the same drive, leaving the Rams with a 26-30 deficit they were unable to overcome. Head coach Sean McVay addressed the media, expressing his frustration and learning that the league had determined Wallace should not have been called for defensive pass interference upon review. Despite this admission, the Rams' loss still stands, leaving McVay and his team to prepare for their next challenge: a matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
