Controversy surrounds Thursday Night Football as officials clarify missed facemask call. In the Minnesota Vikings' game against the Los Angeles Rams, quarterback Sam Darnold was sacked for a safety by Byron Young. The play was reviewed and showed that Darnold's facemask was pulled, resulting in a 15-yard penalty. However, no official had a clear view of the infraction, so it wasn't called during live action. NFL officials have explained that umpire Carl Paganelli would be responsible for enforcing the penalty, but he was blocked by players and didn't get a good look at the play.
