Rams Deny Ravens at the Goal Line After Back-to-Back Tush-Push Failures and Controversial Whistle

Criticism centered on Baltimore choosing Mark Andrews for sneaks over Derrick Henry from inside the 1.

Overview

  • With the score 3-3 late in the second quarter, Baltimore ran consecutive goal-line sneaks with tight end Mark Andrews under center, and both attempts were stopped by Los Angeles.
  • On the second try the ball came loose and Rams linebacker Jared Verse recovered, but officials had ruled forward progress, nullifying a potential turnover.
  • Facing fourth-and-goal, the Ravens shifted to a traditional handoff to Derrick Henry, who was tackled behind the line to end the series scoreless.
  • Analysts, including Tom Brady on the Fox broadcast, questioned the decision to feature Andrews on the sneaks rather than giving Henry the short-yardage carries.
  • Clips of the late whistle circulated on social media as debate grew over the timing of the forward-progress call, while the sequence underscored how the tush-push remains most associated with the Eagles.
