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.

The @nfl should be ashamed of the officiating! #HORRIBLE Should somehow the @saints lose this game there should be major ramifications. 2 obvious PI’s not called. #RamsSaints

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