"In the final seconds of the fourth quarter, the Rams had the ball while trailing the Falcons 27-24. On the first play of the drive, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw a pass to a wide-open Xavier Smith that was just out of his reach. Had the throw been more accurate, Smith likely would have scored the game-winning touchdown. On the next play, Stafford again tried to go deep."
"This time, he threw down the field to Tutu Atwell, but Atwell was unable to bring the ball in. Replays of the sequence showed that Falcons cornerback Dee Alford was pulling on one of Atwell's arms, forcing him to try to make the catch with just one hand. Boy, I tell you, they might've missed a pass interference, Buck said."
Monday Night Football announcer Joe Buck reacted to a crucial missed pass interference in the closing seconds of the Rams-Falcons game. The Rams trailed 27-24 and faced a final-drive deep-pass sequence in which a Matthew Stafford throw to Xavier Smith fell short and a subsequent deep ball to Tutu Atwell was incompleted while Falcons cornerback Dee Alford appeared to hold Atwell's arm. Replays showed Alford pulling Atwell's arm, compromising the catch. Buck and rules analyst Russell York called the officials' non-call a missed pass interference. The Falcons maintained the 27-24 lead and won the game.
