Los Angeles Rams are still stewing about the controversial pass interference call that led to their team’s 30-26 defeat to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night.
Hearing what Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant said about the controversy will not make them any happier.
Rams cornerback Josh Wallace was called for pass interference on Bryant during a play along the sideline in the fourth quarter. Wallace intercepted the pass, which would have essentially sealed the Rams’ win.
Instead, Bryant got the call, the Broncos’ drive continued, and they eventually scored a game-winning touchdown.
When asked whether the play was pass interference, Bryant laughed and said, “It was. It was a little pass interference. I did sell it just enough, you know what I’m saying, to get the flag.
“But he definitely gave me a little nudge that I felt. I felt like I couldn’t get the ball, so it was either the ball or the call. And we ended up getting the call,” Bryant added, per Romi Bean.
“He definitely gave me a shove,” Bryant later said of Rams cornerback Josh Wallace. “Once they give you that push, it’s either illegal contact or pass interference. I know that’s the biggest thing going around social media right now. I can’t even open my social media without seeing the video.
“But it’s something that a lot of people do in this league, so kinda used it to my advantage,” Bryant concluded.
The now 1-2 Rams are wishing Bryant hasn’t used that to his advantage.
