NFL Admits Incorrect Pass-Interference Call That Decided Rams' Loss

The league told Sean McVay the late DPI on Josh Wallace was wrong, reframing the 26-30 defeat while raising pressure on the team's injuries, coaching, officiating, roster stability.

Overview

  • A defensive pass-interference flag on Rams cornerback Josh Wallace produced a First-and-Goal for the Broncos that led to Bo Nix's go-ahead touchdown and the 30-26 final.
  • The NFL informed Sean McVay that the penalty should not have been called and acknowledged the error while the game result remains unchanged.
  • The Rams sit 1-2 after surrendering 30 second-half points in Denver, a collapse that exposed a pass rush that has produced only three sacks so far this season.
  • Key defenders have been limited by injury, with Myles Garrett recovering from knee surgery and Aaron Donald not yet contributing alongside Garrett this year.
  • Star receiver Puka Nacua is still sidelined for hip issues and faces a separate legal accusation with a potential judgment timeline into 2028, keeping his availability and the team's chemistry uncertain.
