Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay and players reacted to a controversial defensive pass interference call in the final minutes of a 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos, with McVay vowing to review the play while acknowledging it appeared to be a competitive effort. The call denied the Rams a potential interception and set up the game-winning score for Denver, compounding frustration from a game-high 13 penalties.
DENVER -- Los Angeles Rams coach Sean McVay said he needs to look at the defensive pass interference called at the end of Sunday night’s 30-26 loss to the Denver Broncos but said it “looked like it was a good, competitive play from my vantage point.
” “But we’ll go back and look at it and we’ll see what they say,” McVay said. The play came on third-and-6 from the Los Angeles 11, when cornerback Josh Wallace appeared to intercept Broncos quarterback Bo Nix . Wallace was called for defensive pass interference on Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant , giving Denver first-and-goal from the Rams’ 7. The Broncos scored on the drive to take the 30-26 lead.
“It’s tough,” Wallace said when asked about the last defensive series for the Rams. “I felt like we stopped them a couple of times. Just got to keep playing at the end of the day. ” The Rams were called for five penalties in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most by any team in a game since 2000, according to ESPN Research.
The Rams finished the game with 13 penalties, which were the most by the team in a single game since 2019.
“The ref called what he called and can’t do nothing now,” Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald said. “You know, woulda, shoulda, coulda. But it is what it is. ” After the game, former Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth tweeted, “Well Coach Payton finally got his PI call!
I say we call it even! ” Whitworth was referencing the 2018 NFC Championship Game, when McVay and the Rams won in overtime after a controversial no-call on potential pass interference by Los Angeles late in the fourth quarter. Then-Saints coach Sean Payton is the current Broncos coach. According to ESPN Research, the referee in both games was Bill Vinovich, and the back judge in both games was Todd Prukop.
