Sam Darnold was definitely not face masked by Byron Young, apart from being clearly grabbed by the face mask.
Watch out, here come the Los Angeles Rams. We’ve been here before. Last year the Rams were 3-6, beat the Seattle Seahawks for a second time, and stormed past them to finish 10-7 and make the playoffs. Banged up beyond belief this season, Sean McVay’s team has almost clawed their way back from a 1-4 start and find themselves at 3-4... but not without controversy. Up 28-20 against the Minnesota Vikings with less than two minutes to go, the Rams backed Minnesota near its own goal line.
But stranger things have happened, and the Vikings got jobbed by bad officiating. I can understand the NFL not wanting to make subjective calls like pass interference reviewable, but face mask penalties are just about always clear as day. You either grabbed the face mask or you didn’t. This has to be something the Competition Committee looks at in the offseason, because this is an easily correctable mistake for the replay center.
