Twitter rips officials for blown non-call late in Saints-Rams
Twitter users quickly and collectively aired disbelief late in Sunday's NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams, after officials missed a seemingly blatant pass interference call against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman on Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis deep in Rams territory.

Real talk. I hate to be the guy that says a team got cheated but if the Saints lose they got robbed

That’s a foul.

That is a terrible no call. The officials don’t want to make calls at the end of playoff games but that pass interference has to be called.

It’s time to overhaul the officiating system. Tear it down and rebuild it with all available modern technology.
