What happened: The league told the Rams the late defensive pass interference on Josh Wallace should not have been called, per Adam Schefter. The flag came at the end of Sunday night's game and shaped the deciding sequence.

Why it matters: The admission leaves the final score intact while inviting scrutiny of late-game officiating. For Los Angeles, the sequence matters because a different call alters the closing possession.

By the numbers: Wallace entered 2026 in his third season out of Michigan after 20 tackles and 1 interception in 15 games in 2025.

What to watch: Los Angeles turns to Sunday's game against the Eagles. McVay has said he expects Puka Nacua to play in that matchup.
