The Rams lose to the Broncos 30-26 after a late pass interference call on Denver’s final drive. Multiple outlets report the penalty gives Denver a fresh set of downs near the goal line, a key factor in Los Angeles’ inability to stop the closing series.
After the game, Rams coach Sean McVay addresses the controversy and says he will not “play the victim card.” He declines to frame the outcome as primarily driven by officiating, focusing instead on his team’s performance and execution. The Athletic and the Los Angeles Times both characterize his comments as a refusal to place blame on the call, while Yahoo Sports similarly highlights his stance against blaming the decision.
Across the reports, there is agreement on the basic sequence: the late penalty, the impact on field position and downs, and McVay’s response emphasizing he won’t attribute the loss solely to the officiating. The outlets differ mainly in phrasing, but converge on the same outcome, call, and postgame message.
