The Los Angeles Rams are looking to bounce back from a tough loss in Week 3 of the NFL season.
The Rams saw a 16-0 lead erased in the second half against the Denver Broncos, who went on to win the game 30-26.
One of the most controversial moments of the game was a defensive pass interference call against Rams cornerback Josh Wallace in the game's final minutes. He and Broncos receiver Pat Bryant both appeared to make contact while the ball was in the air. Wallace managed to come down with the ball inbounds, but the interception was negated after the game officials called pass interference on Wallace.
The Broncos scored the go-ahead touchdown later in the drive.

Rams coach Sean McVay told reporters that the NFL reached out and said it was the wrong call, that Wallace should not have been called for pass interference.
Bryant spoke about the situation in an interview with CBS Sports Colorado, and the receiver acknowledged he "sold" the call.
“It was a little pass interference,” Bryant said. “I did sell it just enough to get the flag.
“He definitely gave me a little nudge that I felt. I felt like I couldn’t get the ball, so it was either the ball or the call. ... It’s something that a lot of people do in this league; I kinda used it to my advantage.”
