K’Waun Williams’ posterior interception is sadly negated by penalty

There are rules that needed to be added to football. Every penalty should be reviewable. No big man touchdown should ever be negated by any penalty. And if you catch an interception with your butt, as 49ers cornerback K’Waun Williams did against Matthew Stafford and the Rams on Monday night, the refs should have to throw any pass interference penalty right out the window.

But of course, the No Fun League did not prepare for this contingency, so the interception that Williams brought in on a Stafford attempt to Cooper Kupp with 9:04 left in the game, and the 49ers already up, 31-7. Williams got handsy with Kupp off the line of scrimmage outside the five-yard area, deflected the pass, and then somehow brought it in with one of the more unconventional techniques we’ve ever seen.

We’re guessing they don’t teach this in DB School.

In any event, this is where you pick up the flag and congratulate Williams on the epic athletic event.
