Overview
- The Rams intend to file at least one rules proposal this offseason, with a possible second, seeking to make similar sequences unsuccessful, according to CBS Sports.
- Their objective is to “fix what went wrong in a few places,” though the specific language has not been released.
- In the Week 16 play, replay determined Sam Darnold’s tipped throw was a backward pass that Zach Charbonnet recovered in immediate continuing action, overturning an initial incomplete ruling.
- Reports say Prime Video analyst Terry McAulay alerted NFL rules official Walt Anderson before a review was initiated roughly 100 seconds after the play, and the league says contact with broadcasts is not unusual.
- Proposals are expected to surface around the scouting combine and can be refined before a late-March owners vote in Phoenix, where 24 of 32 teams must approve any change.
