49ers film room: Making the call on Trent Taylor’s questionable Week 3 pass-interference penalty

The San Francisco 49ers were trailing 41-39 to the Los Angeles Rams with 1:54 remaining on the clock in Week 3.

Quarterback Brian Hoyer was successfully leading a drive that could have put the Niners ahead with a late-game field goal, potentially securing San Francisco’s first win of the season.

On 3rd-and-10 at the 50-yard line, Hoyer delivered an 11-yard pass to rookie wide receiver Trent Taylor, who broke free from Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman towards the sidelines.

But, as 49ers fans know, Taylor was flagged for an offensive pass-interference call, negating the play and all but stalling San Francisco’s potential game-winning drive.
