Rams' Rule Change Ideas Dropped After Seahawks' Bizarre Play

About this episode

Rare Play Sparks Rule Change Proposals: The Seahawks-Rams Two-Point Play and Its Aftermath

In the week sixteen Seahawks-Rams game, a peculiar two-point play occurred, leading to two rule change proposals from the Rams. The play involved a backward pass by Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold, deflected past the line of scrimmage, and scooped up by Seattle running back Zach Charbonnet for the points. The Rams suggested changes to treat such deflections like fumbles on fourth downs, in the last two minutes of halves, or extra points, potentially nullifying the score. They also proposed a forty-second clock for replay reviews. However, these proposals likely wouldnt have garnered the necessary votes, as coaches have already understood the importance of grabbing any loose ball on the field.

It's March 19th, here's your NFL news in two minutes. Subscribe to stay locked in all season. Remember that bizarre two-point play from the week 16 Seahawks Rams game? It sparked two rule-change ideas from the Rams last month, but they've now been dropped. The play happened in the fourth quarter. Seahawks' quarterbacks ham-darnled through a backward pass they got deflected past the line of scrimmage. Seattle running back Zach Sharbanay scooped it up for the points, tying the game. Some officials pushed for changes after that. One would treat those deflections like fumbles on fourth downs, the last two minutes of halves, or extra points, potentially nullifying the score in. Cases like this, they also wanted a 42nd clock to star replay reviews. It took 100 seconds from the recovery to the ref's call, thanks to a tip from the prime video rules expert to the league's analyst. The proposals probably wouldn't have gotten the 24 votes needed anyway. These plays are super rare, and coaches got the message, grab any loose ball on the field.
