Cade Otton couldn’t protect the ball and it resulted in a very odd pick-six.
The Rams had a huge first half against the Buccaneers on Sunday NIght Football as they took a 31-7 lead into intermission. Matthew Stafford got whatever he wanted while Baker Mayfield took a beating. While Stafford threw three touchdown passes, Mayfield threw two first half interceptions, including one in the first quarter that turned into a pick-six.
Mayfield threw a pass to Cade Otton that was bobbled and then taken away by Cobie Durant, who returned the ball 50 yards for a touchdown to put Los Angeles up 14-0 late in the first quarter.wasn't convinced Otten shouldn't have been called down and given credit for a reception. Rules analyst Terry McAuley joined the broadcast to explain why Otton wasn't down even though he was kind of down. Cris Collinsworth to Terry McAulay: "I thought it was obvious that had control when the knee went down... So even if we all acknowledge, right here, he has control and the knee is down, that is not a completed pass?" 🏈🦓🎙️"I thought it was obvious that he had control when the knee went down," said Collinsworth, "but I know that's not enough, right Terry?" "Exactly, Cris," said McAuley. "He then has to have it long enough to preform an act common to the game and as we see it got stripped pretty quickly. It just isn't clear and obvious that he had it long enough, enough to reverse to down."The good news is that the game isn't close enough for the call to matter.Stephen Douglas is a senior writer on the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
