Rams Propose Rule Changes After Controversial Play

About this episode

The Los Angeles Rams propose NFL rule changes following a controversial two-point conversion play against the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Sean McVay suggests clarifying rules on tipped backward passes in crucial situations, offering two options: spotting the ball back at the backward pass location on review or treating deflected backward passes like fumbles in late-game or conversion spots. They also advocate for a forty-second limit on starting booth reviews. These changes require approval from twenty-four teams, a challenge given the leagues competitive nature.

The Los Angeles Rans are proposing a few rule changes to the NFL after a strange two-point conversion play during their week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Coach Sean McBae discussed the ideas with reporters this week, focusing on that chaotic moment at the end of the first half. The Rans want to clarify rules around tip-backward passes in key situations like fourth downs, conversion attempts, or the final two minutes of a half. The playing questions saw the Seahawks throw a backward pass on their two-point try. It got tipped by the Rams' defense, bounce forward past the line of scrimmage, and landed in the in zone where a Seattle running back recovered it, for the score. Officials ruled it legal since backward passes can be advanced if recovered ahead, even if tipped. McVeigh called it a rare occurrence that was officiated correctly, but felt unfair. Using it to old fumble rules like the Holy Roller play from years.

One would spot the ball back at the backward pass location if reversed on review. The other treats any deflected backward pass, like a fumble in those late game or conversion spots, preventing favorable advances. They also want a 42nd limit on starting booth reviews to cut down on delays. These changes need approval from 24 of the 32 teams, or 75%. While the ideas make sense to many, getting that broad support could prove tough in the league's competitive landscape. This episode is supported by our sponsor, C Details in the Description.
