NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay did not believe Rams CB Josh Wallace should have been flagged for pass interference, in what may have otherwise been an interception. The Broncos went on to score what would serve as the game-winning TD.

First he pulls him by the hips, then he pushes him. Very clearly illegal contact at the very least

Two pushes and a tug while the ball is in the air is PI every time.

Worst call of the season so far. And it couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Not sure I’ve seen a rules analyst be that definitive about disagreeing with the call on the field on such a big play.

Every team is victimized by bad calls. @NFLOfficiating is garbage, that's a fact, but if you want to win you shake it off and stop the other team from scoring.

A billion dollar sports business and we have 65 year old blind men as refs. NFL should be ashamed of themselves. They need to finally fix this. Get younger athletic refs that are full time. What’s so hard about it

I disagree Under Rule 8, Section 5, the uncatchable-pass exception only applies if the ball is clearly uncatchable by the involved players. An interception (even one later nullified) is evidence the pass was catchable, at least by Wallace. So that part of the account’s argument does not hold up against the official description. The remaining dispute is the contact itself: whether Wallace restricted Bryant, or Bryant pulled Wallace down. That is a judgment call. NBC disagreed with the flag; the crew still called DPI. Because PI is not reviewable, the on-field decision stood. @NFLOfficiating @NFLRogerGoodell @Broncos @SeanPayton

This shit is getting to the point where it’s not worth staying up to watch a ref decide a game with a wrong call.

I guess he doesn’t consider shoving a WR while the ball is in the air PI. He kept saying he didn’t pull him. If you contact a player while the ball is in the air it’s still PI.

He is wrong. If Pat Bryant had shoved him out of the way to make the catch like Wallace did to him, they are calling OPI every time.

@McClain_on_NFL This happens every season. There are some games where @NFL referees will toss a flag until the desired outcome is achieved. Your eyes are not lying to you

Honestly, have we ever seen a more awful day of officiating? And that’s saying something with these now weekly clown shows

@GerryCallahan Nobody believed it. This was a ridiculous call.

@AllenSales Crazy how he can say that live and NY not get involved at all @NFL

@LARamsOnly1 Defense has a right to go for the ball. Give that guy an SAG card. lol.

Receiver grabs defender and flops , just like a NBA player

@AllenSales Clear pick both players fighting for the ball

Flopping has officially made its way to the NFL lol

That call could have so many future implications. Just get it right for fuck sakes

Of course he didn't. The nfl is trying to shove the rams into the sb

Disagree with the call by the refs agree with Terry McAulay!

How are we not at a point where penalties can be reviewed? Fans don't want to see games determined by bad calls! 😡 @NFL , @NFLOfficiating

NBA flop Refs getting bribes or collecting on betting sites... Rams robbed

Lot of contact by the DB

@DeanBlandino comments? Of course not. Sickening.

Illegal contact past 5 yards on a pass.

Game should have ended there but as a Ram fan it does not matter. Once all super stars are back healthy at years end nobody will want to play them.

@AllenSales Why the guy in front didn’t call a pass interference??? He had a better look at the play.

Just a really bad call

Bryant did one hell of an acting job tripping over air like that.

Go to CFL challenge rules, which include: * Clock and other administrative rulings * Defensive pass interference (DPI) * Offensive pass interference (OPI) * Blocking downfield by an eligible receiver * Illegal block on a kick play * Roughing the passer * Roughing the kicker

Looked like offensive pass interference

SGA would have been proud
