WOODLAND HILLS, Ca. During the Los Angeles Rams’ regular season loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle, the Rams believed they stopped a successful two point conversion to keep the game at 30-28 in the fourth quarter.
However, the call would be overturned due to Zach Charbonnet picking up the ball, which was propelled forward after a backwards pass for a successful conversion. The call was correct according to the letter of the law but a recent report displays the lack of clarity in regards to the rule, safety factors in play, and why the Rams should push for massive rules reforms.
The Latest From The Season Changing Call
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio states that the call to review the play could have been prompted by Prime Video rules analyst Terry McAulay, meaning no one on the field recognized the issue enough to prompt the review.
“The replay review was initiated 100 seconds after the play ended. The two teams were preparing for the next kickoff,” stated Florio. “Then, out of nowhere, referee Brad Allen announced the play was under review.”
