The Missed Call That Decided a Divisional Game October 2, 2025. Rams vs 49ers. A divisional game that went to overtime — and one no-call that Rams fans are still thinking about. On a crucial down, a 49ers defender grabbed Matthew Stafford's face mask. Clear contact, clear violation. Under NFL Rule 12, Article 1 that's a 15-yard penalty and an automatic first down. The refs missed it entirely. The Rams had to accept the outcome of the play, the drive stalled, and San Francisco walked away with the OT win. Rams players, coaches, and fans were furious in the moment — and looking back at the film, it's hard to argue with them. This is part of Warren's Highs & Lows, going back through every big play and bad call from the 2025 NFL season before 2026 kicks off. Does this no-call change the outcome of the game?
