The Broncos beat the Rams 30-26 after rallying from a 16-point deficit. A disputed defensive pass interference flag on Josh Wallace erased his apparent interception of Bo Nix and gave Denver a new set of downs at the Rams’ 7-yard line; the Broncos scored on the drive.
NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay and some observers said Wallace and Broncos receiver Pat Bryant were engaged in innocent hand-fighting; other fans on social media argued Bryant had grabbed Wallace. The article says a pass breakup without the interception likely would have forced Denver to attempt a field goal. A later illegal-use-of-hands penalty against the Rams added momentum before Denver scored.
