Disgruntled fans organized their own Saints-inspired rally. They filled the streets while holding signs and wearing T-shirts that drew attention to the missed pass interference call from two weeks ago that helped the Los Angeles Rams defeat the Saints.

Some fans even took their resentment to Atlanta, where the Rams and New England Patriots will square in the Super Bowl.
