There is no reality where this is anything but a defensive score.
@NFLOfficiating rules are broken if you try to convince me this was an incomplete forward pass.
This should be the biggest story of the week and it’s going to be swept under the rug because this game is largely irrelevant from a national storyline standpoint.
Refs blew this plain and simple. Just flat out wrong. If the QB throws it backwards it's a fumble. What a horrible and egregious error. Fire the white hat.
The FOX NFL explanation was that the "intent" was to throw the ball forward.
So I guess every interception is actually a completion since that's the intent, too.
They somehow ruled this an incomplete forward pass. Even though it went backwards.
Whatever loophole results in this needs to be deleted from the rulebook immediately.
There has never been a clearer fumble!
I can't believe how poorly coached this game was. McVay's play-calling was predictable, the gameplan sucked and Chris Shula's defense looked lost. This is just a bad loss. I'm not worried. I'm pissed off. Waited a long time to see them lay an egg. 49ers simply put have dominated. The scoreboard finally started to indicate that.
Puka Nacua opened up about struggling to handle the stress and turning to alcohol as a way to shut it out.
It takes a lot to speak that candidly about something so personal, especially in a national interview. Credit to him for being willing to share it.
The Rams are staying on Pacific time the entire trip and never adjusting to Australia. That means on game day, their players will wake up around 2 in the morning Australian time, because back home in LA that's the afternoon. They'll eat, warm up, and get ready in the middle of the night while the city around them sleeps, so their bodies feel like they're playing a normal afternoon game back home.
The way they pull that off is the plane. The Rams chartered an Airbus A380, the most expensive private jet on earth, and turned it into a flying hotel. Every player gets a lay-flat bed to actually sleep on the 15-hour flight.
On top of that, the cabin is pressurized to around 5,000 feet instead of the usual 8,000, with high humidity and almost total silence, all designed so the players land rested instead of wrecked. Fly there on LA time, sleep like they're home, wake up in the Australian dark, and play the game before their bodies ever know they left.
