20-Jan-2019 NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams
“... the analytics nerds out there calculated that if a flag had been thrown on the obvious pass interference by Rams corner Nickell Robey-Coleman on the Saints wide out Tommylee Lewis, New Orleans would have had a roughly 98 percent chance of winning the NFC championship game.
Of course, no flag was thrown. No first down was awarded to the Saints. No bleeding out the clock. No chip shot field goal attempt as time expired. No trip to the Super Bowl for the Saints.
Guess what: That’s sports. And just because the refs missed a big one doesn’t mean the game was ruined and stained for all eternity, and it certainly doesn’t mean the NFL has a credibility issue that must be addressed now. The blown call was egregious. It’s going to bother Saints fans (and backers) as long as they live.
But for a league that has a million public relations problems and a million issues with how the game is officiated, why get so worked up over one more missed call?” - Adam Caparell
