Rams Push Rule Changes After Odd Two‑Point Play

After a Week 16 two‑point attempt in Seattle that involved a tipped backward pass, Rams head coach Sean McVay announced a proposal to treat such plays as fumbles, preventing teams from advancing the ball when a defensive tip carries it past the line of scrimmage. The change would align the play with the “Holy Roller” rule that forbids advancing a fumble in similar situations.

McVay also called for a 40‑second limit on booth reviews to avoid lengthy delays, and suggested a reversal of the incomplete‑pass rule for backward passes that touch the ground and are recovered beyond the spot of the pass.
