NFL official Tra Blake addressed the late-game controversy that arose Thursday night from a missed face-mask penalty in the Los Angeles Rams' 30–20 win over the Minnesota Vikings at SoFi Stadium.
The Rams secured the victory when linebacker Byron Young sacked Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold in the end zone for a safety with 1:42 remaining. No flag was thrown on the play, but replays revealed that Young clearly grabbed Darnold's face mask, which should've resulted in a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down for Minnesota.
