McVay Unfazed by Backward‑Pass Rule Proposal

The Rams’ proposal, sparked by a tipped backward pass that crossed the line of scrimmage in Seattle, would treat the ball as a fumble rather than a completed pass, preventing teams from gaining an unfair advantage.

The team also suggested a 40‑second limit on booth reviews and a rule to reverse an incomplete pass to a backward pass that touches the ground with recovery beyond the spot, aiming to clarify the play’s outcome.
