They did not get very far, as Rams linebacker Byron Young beat two blockers to sack Sam Darnold and score a safety.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was pretty clear just watching the play that Young had taken Darnold down by grabbing and yanking his face mask, which should have provided new life for the Vikings with a 15-yard penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Further replay only cemented how bad of a missed call this was. Darnold&#8217;s head was pulled 90 degrees to the left as he was taken down:<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, missed face-mask penalties are not reviewable.<\/p>\n<p>The penalty was so obvious that Young grabbed his head after the play as if he had made a mistake, rather than seal the game for Los Angeles. The Rams instead received two points and the ball, kneeling out the clock to end what had been a rare competitive &#8220;Thursday Night Football&#8221; game.<\/p>\n<p>You know it&#8217;s a bad mistake when the officials don&#8217;t even try denying it after the game. <a data-i13n=\"cpos:2;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/calvinwatkins\/status\/1849661805586534681\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Speaking with a pool reporter;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Speaking with a pool reporter<\/a>, referee Tra Blake basically said none of the officials actually saw Young taking down Darnold:<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-pull-quote-wrapper caas-img caas-lazy\" data-src=\"\">\n<blockquote class=\"caas-blockquote\">\n<p>&#8220;Well, on that play, the quarterback was facing the opposite direction from me so I did not have a good look at it.

Even if the face mask was called, Minnesota still would have 80 yards to travel in one minute and 36 seconds, not to mention the two-point attempt and overtime. There were many more reasons the Vikings lost, such as Matthew Stafford&#8217;s four touchdown passes.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it&#8217;s a bad way to end a game, and an argument could be made that maybe face-mask penalties should be reviewable. Then again, an even more dramatic play involving the Rams was the impetus for making pass-interference calls reviewable, and that ended up being so bad the NFL abandoned it after one season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/vikings-rams-thursday-night-football-game-ends-with-blatant-missed-face-mask-penalty-032851764.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Los Angeles Rams&#8217; final blow in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday had a rather obvious missed call.
