The Los Angeles Rams secured a 30-20 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, but a controversial missed call overshadowed the win. With the Vikings down by eight and no timeouts, a crucial play saw Rams linebacker Byron Young sack quarterback Sam Darnold, but it was evident he had committed a face-mask penalty.
Referee Tra Blake admitted that the officials did not see the infraction, leading to frustration among Vikings players and fans alike. Despite the missed call, the Vikings' chances to win were slim, as they still faced a long field and limited time. The incident reignited discussions on whether certain penalties should be reviewable.
