Controversial pass-interference call overturns Rams' late interception in Broncos win
A defensive pass-interference penalty nullified Josh Wallace's late interception, giving Denver a fresh set of downs that led to a 30-26 victory over Los Angeles.
In the final minutes of Sunday Night Football, the Rams fell behind 26-23 and faced a third-and-six from Denver's 11-yard line. Bo Nix delivered a pass to Pat Bryant near the right sideline, and cornerback Josh Wallace stepped in, grabbing the ball and going down for what looked like a game-ending interception. However, officials threw a flag for defensive pass interference, nullifying the turnover and granting Denver a new set of downs at the five-yard line.
Replays suggested Bryant may have pulled Wallace toward him, prompting one outlet rules analyst Terry McAulay to question the call. Social media erupted, with reporters and fans labeling the decision as a robbery and accusing the league of favoritism. The Broncos capitalized on the extra possession, holding on for a 30-26 win that left Rams supporters feeling cheated.
