Fans blast refs for controversial penalty on Rams late vs. Cardinals

For the second time in three weeks, Los Angeles Rams cornerback Josh Wallace was at the center of a controversial penalty. The first was against the Denver Broncos in Week 3 when he was called for defensive pass interference, which set up the Broncos' game-winning touchdown.

On Sunday, he was flagged late in the Rams' loss to the Cardinals, this time for unnecessary roughness. Officials ruled that he hit the receiver, Jalen Brooks, in the helmet, which gave Arizona a free 15 yards on top of the 21 picked up on the play.

That put them in field goal range just one play after the Rams took the lead, 16-15. Chad Ryland went on to make the 41-yarder as time expired, giving the Cardinals the 18-16 win.

As expected, fans ripped the officials in the game for throwing a flag in that situation, especially considering Wallace's shoulder barely grazed Brooks' helmet.
