Rams Push Rule Change After Odd Two-Point Play

Rams coach Sean McVay announced rule changes aimed at treating tipped backward passes that cross the line of scrimmage as fumbles and limiting booth review time after a controversial Week 16 two‑point play.

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.
