Overview
- Rams safety Kamren Curl intercepted Caleb Williams on second-and-8 at the Los Angeles 48, setting up Harrison Mevis’ 42-yard field goal for a 20-17 overtime win.
- Replay angles showed D.J. Moore appearing to slow or stop his route, which allowed Curl to undercut the throw intended along the right sideline.
- Williams said the play resulted from a miscommunication, explaining he anticipated Moore would flatten the route under the safety while Moore stayed high.
- Public reaction was swift, with former stars such as Terrell Owens and analysts criticizing Moore’s effort as NBC’s Cris Collinsworth noted the receiver never got his head around.
- Moore is signed through 2029 on a 2024 four-year, $110 million deal with a projected $24.5 million cap hit next season, leading to media speculation about his future though no moves have been announced; Los Angeles will face Seattle in the NFC Championship.
