Todd Gurley’s near-reception made for a weird ending to the first half of the Falcons-Rams Wild Card game.
Todd Gurley’s non-catch helped the Rams get a FG at the end of the first half vs. Falcons
Things got weird here at the end of the half.
After an incredible Robert Woods catch, the Rams tried to find Gurley to get in the end zone before the half with 14 seconds left.
He appeared to catch the football four yards short of the end zone, putting the Rams in a hurry with no timeouts.
The Rams were then in a scramble to try to get to the line of scrimmage and spike the ball, which they did with Falcons DT Grady Jarrett offsides. That would have stopped the clock with five seconds left in the half.
However, referees said they were reviewing the previous play, and so that play did not count. The play was then ruled incomplete, and the clock would be reset to 14 seconds as opposed to just five.
After an incomplete pass to Sammy Watkins and a holding that moved them back 10 yards, the Rams decided to play it safe, and took a field goal to go into the half down 13-10.
But it was a weird end to the half, to say the least.
