During a Sunday Night Football game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos, a controversial pass interference penalty against Josh Wallace overturned what appeared to be a critical interception late in the fourth quarter. With 1:15 left and the Broncos trailing 26-23, Wallace caught an interception but was penalized for defensive pass interference, giving the Broncos a fresh set of downs from the five-yard line. This call led to significant discussion on social media and disagreement among analysts, including NBC’s Terry McAulay, who questioned whether it should have been called at all or could even be offensive pass interference.
