Sources: Los Angeles Rams to pitch QB roughing rule change

The Los Angeles Rams plan to resubmit a rule change to the NFL's competition committee that would make all personal fouls reviewable, including roughing the passer, sources told ESPN.

The roughing the passer rule has come under intense scrutiny after two controversial plays in Week 5 drew unnecessary roughness penalties -- one on Atlanta's Grady Jarrett and one on Kansas City's Chris Jones.

Last year, the Rams submitted to the NFL a potential rule change that would have made roughing the passer reviewable, but the competition committee voted against it 9-0 and the rule never made it to the floor for further discussion or vote.
