The Los Angeles Rams recently pulled back two rule-changed proposals linked to a controversial two-point conversion by the Seattle Seahawks in week 16. That play happened when a backward pass bounced past the line of scrimmage and got picked up by running back Zack Sharvanay after officials had, called it incomplete. The NFL reviewed it and awarded the points, sparking debate over old rules that rarely come into play. Rams president Kevin Demoff spoke out on Thursday morning via social media. He pointed out how a player can grab a ball ruled incomplete, walk it back toward midfield, and still get two points minutes later. The review process dragged on, because league officials missed the error at first until a prime video analyst flagged it to the NFL's rules expert. Fans and coaches reacted strongly, with some calling the outcome unfair, while others defended the correct call. The incident highlights a coaching lesson, always chase loose balls, no matter the whistle.

1:03This stems from a rule tweak after a 2008 chargers. Broncos' game were replay overturned an incomplete pass call, but couldn't award. Possession. Demoff's frustration echoes wider concerns, but critics say complaining without pushing changes falls short. Teams might propose fixes yearly until it benefits them. Still, no immediate action has come from the league on this specific issue. The best solution floating around is for refs to hold off blowing the whistle on grounded balls. Let players battle for possession, then sort it with replay. That could mean more scrambles and injury risks, but it keeps plays alive until the right call sticks.
