McVay Unfazed by Rams' Rule‑Change Push After Seattle Play

Rams coach Sean McVay said he won’t lose sleep if the league rejects his team’s rule‑change proposals, which stem from a controversial tipped backward pass in Week 16.

The Rams’ proposals aim to treat a tipped backward pass that crosses the line of scrimmage as a fumble, preventing teams from gaining an unfair advantage, and to impose a 40‑second limit on booth reviews after a delayed two‑point conversion call.

McVay emphasized that the play was rare and that the rule changes would align the situation with existing fumble rules, noting he would not use the incident as an excuse for the team’s performance.
