Rams Push Rule Changes After Odd Two‑Point Play

During a press briefing, McVay explained that the Rams’ proposal stems from a Week 16 play where a tipped backward pass crossed the line of scrimmage and was ruled a successful two‑point conversion. He said the team wants the play to be treated like a fumble, preventing a team from gaining an advantage when a defensive tip turns a backward pass into a forward ball.

The Rams also propose a 40‑second limit on booth reviews to avoid lengthy delays, and a rule reversal that would treat an incomplete backward pass that touches the ground and is recovered beyond the spot as a fumble, placing the ball at the recovery spot.
