  "account": "Rams coach Sean McVay made public comments this week regarding a controversial pass interference call in his team's loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night. The NFL has a policy against teams discussing conversations with the league regarding officiating decisions, as stated in the game operations manual. The manual states that any such discussions must be kept confidential and breach could result in league discipline. McVay claimed the NFL had told the Rams the interference call against them was incorrect. However, it is unclear if McVay was given permission by the league to make these public remarks. NFL coaches have previously revealed such conversations, but the NFL's competition committee has generally opposed making judgment calls like pass interference subject to replay review. The league had reviewed its pass interference calls and non-calls under instant replay during the 2019 season, but ultimately decided not to renew the system for the 2020 season.",
