I saw it, Saints would have won if the right call was made.

You don’t know that. No one does. They could have fumbled the next play. Or the Rams could have let them score a TD, getting the ball back, and scoring themselves.
The only thing we DO know is that the Saints threw an interception in OT, which did more to cost them the game. I do think the non-DPI call WAS missed but the Rams still had a timeout and stranger things have happened.
Wasn’t it the Saints who lost to Minnesota on a freak play in the playoffs a couple of years ago? Every team in the league can make a case for a Super Bowl they’d no doubt win but for supposed bad calls. It is what makes sports sports.
Agree. And to all those who say ‘well the Saints could have won it in overtime? They wouldn’t have had overtime if that call hadn’t been blown. The Refs wanted LA. The Refs in the AFC game want KC. The first time I’ve watched ANY NFL this year. Won’t care about the Super Bowl this year. either. May as well call it the Refs Bowl.
I didn’t particularly favor either team, but that play was right out in the open and appeared to involve TWO fouls: pass interference and helmet-to-helmet contact.
