It appears that an assumption by the referees in Sunday night’s Rams-Eagles game let Philadelphia head coach trick or use them into letting him get a look at L.A.’s offense that should have never happened. If Sirianni broke an unwritten rules of the game, it could be the reason that the Rams lose.
The situation
Down 27-14 late in the third quarter, the Rams were facing 3rd-and-3 at the Philadelphia 14 and Matthew Stafford threw an incomplete pass. At the same time, the Rams were called for holding and it was announced to everyone in the stadium that the Eagles declined the penalty.
