Byron Young and Sam Darnold (Photo via Amazon Prime Video)
Social media detectives noticed something interesting about Los Angeles Rams star Byron Young after he sealed Thursday night’s game against the Minnesota Vikings with a sack on Sam Darnold.
The game-sealing safety did not come without controversy, however. As you can see in the replay below, Byron Young got away with a blatant facemask on Darnold even though a referee was right there in the end zone to see it:
The said social media detectives noticed something fishy: Byron Young’s reaction after the play shows that even he was expecting to be flagged for a facemask:
The Vikings were trailing 28-20 and backed up on their own five-yard line before Darnold was sacked in the end zone for a safety. If the officials called that, Minnesota would have gotten 15 yards and a fresh set of downs with the chance to tie it.
The officials called nine penalties on the Vikings and just six on the Rams. Without a question, however, the biggest officiating mistake in this one was the Byron Young facemask that went uncalled.
Byron Young & Rams Defense Still Deserve Credit In Win
The inexcusable missed call by the official doesn’t take away what was a stellar effort by the Los Angeles defense on Thursday night. After giving up touchdowns on Minnesota’s first two drives, the Rams allowed just six points the rest of the way and let the offense do the rest in a potential season-saving 30-20 win.
