Overview
- Late on Sunday night the Broncos had a would-be interception by Rams cornerback Josh Wallace wiped out by a defensive pass interference flag that set up Denver’s go-ahead touchdown.
- Broncos receiver Pat Bryant told CBS Colorado he "did sell it just enough" to draw the flag while also saying he felt a shove from Wallace.
- Rams coach Sean McVay said the NFL told him the play should not have been called a DPI, but league rules bar review of pass interference so the official result stands.
- Television replays showed contact and Wallace appearing to catch the ball, and experts split on the call with Mike Florio and Chris Simms calling it DPI and NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay disagreeing.
- The episode has renewed debate over officiating discretion, limits on replay review and player embellishment and the NFL plans to use the play for training and teaching rather than changing the game outcome.
