Darnold, O'Connell not blaming missed face mask call as reason why Vikings lost to Rams INGLEWOOD, Calif.

(AP) Minnesota quarterback Sam Darnold didnt blame the officials for a missed face mask call when he was sacked for a safety late in the fourth quarter of the Vikings' 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

On second-and-10, Darnold got a couple clean seconds in the pocket before Byron Young barreled past left guard Blake Brandel and took down Darnold for a safety, to put the game out of reach.

Referee Tra Blake said in a pool report that he and umpire Carl Paganelli did not have a clear view.
