The Rams’ proposal stems from a Week 16 game in Seattle where a tipped backward pass went past the line of scrimmage and was ruled a successful two‑point conversion. McVay said the rule would prevent teams from gaining an unfair advantage when a tipped pass behaves like a fumble.
The team also wants to cap the time a booth review can take at 40 seconds, citing the lengthy delay that followed the Seahawks’ failed conversion. The proposals aim to clarify the play’s status and reduce on‑field confusion.
