NFL official clarifies why no penalty was issued to the Rams for end-zone facemask in Vikings game
The Los Angeles Rams’ Week 8 victory over the Minnesota Vikings was marred by controversy after Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked in the end zone for a safety while attempting to tie the game. Rams linebacker Byron Young grabbed Darnold’s face mask during the sack, but officials did not see it. Referee Tra Blake explained that the crew did not have a good view of the play and therefore could not call it. The missed call was not reviewable and ultimately ended the game in favor of the Rams. This incident highlights the need for the NFL to consider making critical plays like this one reviewable.
