Rams Drop Rule Change Ideas After Losing Play

0:00On March 30, the Rams just pulled back their two rule-change ideas from that wild two-point conversion in their week 16 loss to the Seahawks. Head coach Sharmaj Vey confirmed it, Monday, saying the proposals wouldn't even hit the table at this week's NFL Owners meeting since they lacked the juice for 24 out of 32 votes. That place saw Seattle quarterback Sam Darnel's pass tip off Rams defender Jared Vers, get called to backward pass and turn into a live ball. Running bag Zack Sharmaj scooped for two points after review. The Rams wanted rules treating it like a fumble on 4th down, or late in halves, only the fumbleer advances it, and capping replay starts at 40 or, 60 seconds.
