McVay: No 'Victim Card' After DPI Loss

Published September 29, 2026 · Updated September 29, 2026 · NBC Sports

Sean McVay declined to make excuses after a controversial defensive pass interference call late in the Rams' loss to the Broncos, saying 'we're not going to play the victim card.'

McVay's Rams were called for questionable DPI in the final minutes against Sean Payton's Broncos, nullifying an interception and setting up the game-winning touchdown. The penalty came amid a flurry of flags against the Rams, who were called for five penalties in the final two minutes, tied for the most in a game since 2000. freshyourfeel.com

Interestingly, McVay benefited from a missed DPI in the 2018 NFC Championship Game against Payton's Saints, one of the worst missed calls in NFL history. When asked about the controversial call, McVay said 'It is what it is' and emphasized there were 'a lot of opportunities' his team had to win, rather than blaming officials.
