After rewatching the play on which his team was called for defensive pass interference late in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, coach Sean Mc Vay said the Rams will not "play the victim card" because of the call. The play came on third-and-6 from the Los Angeles 11, when cornerback Josh Wallace intercepted a pass by Broncos quarterback Bo Nix. Wallace was called for defensive pass interference on Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant, giving Denver first-and-goal at the 7. The Broncos scored on the drive to take a 30-26 lead with 47 seconds left."It] doesn't really matter," Mc Vay said Monday. "It is what it is. That was the call that was made and there was a lot of opportunities that we had to be able to close the door on that game. ... But I wouldn't have any additional coaching points for how Josh [Wallace] plays through the cycle of the snap. But I'm not going to make excuses either and we're not going to play the victim card."

The Rams were called for five penalties in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter, tied for the most by any team in a game since 2000, according to ESPN Research. Referee Bill Vinovich's crew had thrown the second-fewest flags in the final two minutes of a game in the 2024 and '25 seasons. The group threw only one flag in the last two minutes across the entire 2024 season. The Rams ended that game without cornerback Jaylen Watson, who dislocated his arm late in the second quarter. Mc Vay said Watson has dealt with that injury before and although Watson probably will not play in Week 4 against the Eagles, the Rams don't plan to put the cornerback on injured reserve. Tight end Terrance Ferguson also figures to sit out the Rams' Week 4 game after spraining his ankle against the Broncos, Mc Vay said. Tight end Colby Parkinson sprained his AC joint in the game, but Mc Vay said his status for the Eagles game is still to be determined. Mc Vay reiterated Monday that he was "hopeful" wide receiver Puka Nacua could play Sunday against the Eagles. Nacua has sat out the past two games because of soreness in his groin."It sounds like he had a good workout before the game," Mc Vay said. "We'll continue to see, but if he is able to progress the way that we hope, there's optimism that he'll be able to play this week."
