Missed roughing the passer penalty would have wiped out Caleb Williams interception

Our Summary

During a playoff game in Chicago, a key first-quarter interception that led to the Rams' first touchdown drive occurred after a missed call. Rams defensive tackle Kobie Turner delivered a hit to the head of the Bears' quarterback after the pass was thrown, which is prohibited by NFL rules as a forcible blow to the passer's head. NBC rules analyst Terry McAulay commented during the broadcast that a roughing the passer penalty should have been called. However, roughing the passer is not eligible for replay review, highlighting ongoing discussions about the scope of replay reviews in the NFL.
