Rams propose backward pass rule change after Seattle game

Rams coach Sean McVay says the team is proposing a rule change to treat backward passes tipped by the defense like fumbles at the end of halves. This aims to prevent favorable advances similar to the "Holy Roller" play.

The proposal targets the specific play that occurred in Week 16 against the Seahawks. McVay noted the play was accurately officiated but expressed concern over the ability to advance such a ball. He stated the goal is to ensure the play falls under the same parameters as a fumble on fourth downs or two-point attempts.
