Overview
- The replay booth changed a failed two-point try to a backward pass recovered in the end zone, and Seattle went on to beat Los Angeles 38-37 in overtime.
- Sean McVay criticized the outcome and said he expects an offseason effort to revisit the rule that allowed the live-ball recovery.
- A Pro Football Talk report cited a source saying a change is highly unlikely, noting the need for either unanimous Competition Committee support or 24 owner votes.
- Coverage emphasized that officials applied the current rule correctly and that the sequence was a rare fluke, with the ball deflecting before being recovered.
- The defeat cost the Rams first place in the NFC West, and a punt-return touchdown in the comeback preceded the firing of special-teams coordinator Chase Blackburn.
