Cobie Durant was tight-lipped on controversial call against Rams — that Sean McVay could not challenge
NY Post
SEATTLE — Cobie Durant bit his tongue to save his wallet and not criticize his former teammate.
Durant made the tackle on what was ruled a 7-yard catch by Cooper Kupp to move the chains with 3:20 remaining Sunday in the Rams’ 31-27 loss to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game.
Replays showed that Kupp was down short of the sticks, but head coach Sean McVay could not challenge because he called his final timeout instead of throwing the red flag, and was not allowed to change his mind by rule. The ball also popped loose from Kupp’s hands as he rolled over.
“Good game,” Durant told The Post, clearly trying to avoid the fine that comes from criticizing officials. “That’s it. That’s it.”
McVay was not asked after the game about the controversial play, but television lip readers claim that he said “Why not?” to officials when told he could not challenge.
How big of a swing was it? The Seahawks would have been facing fourth-and-inches at their own 34-yard line and a decision of whether to punt and trust their defense or try to put the game on ice with a 31-27 lead.

We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
