New Rams assistant had foresight into what became a key playoff sequence

Dan Shamash officially joined Sean McVay’s coaching staff this week as the team’s “game management coordinator and assistant tight ends coach”. A similar role was held by John Streicher last season for the Los Angeles Rams; however, Streicher left to join Mike Vrabel’s staff with the New England Patriots.

You think you’ve never heard of Shamash before. He actually played a key part in informing Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni of the possibility referees could award a touchdown following consecutive defensive penalties at the goal line, which turned out to be a key sequence in this year’s NFC Championship versus the Washington Commanders.
