On 3rd & 10 inside the red zone in a 20-20 game, Drew Brees dropped back and threw to Tommylee Lewis along the right sideline, but it fell incomplete, as he was drilled by Nickell Robey-Coleman.
Pass interference clearly should have been called on the play, but instead, the Saints had to settle for a field goal, making it 23-20.
Yeah. That was pass interference. pic.twitter.com/niV9z2rnJi

January 20, 2019 As mentioned in the #LARvsNO broadcast, this should have been a penalty for Pass Interference. The defender was not playing the ball and contacted the receiver early. pic.twitter.com/treCuGiClr

January 20, 2019 The Rams marched down the field and got within field goal range, setting up Greg Zuerlein to hit a game-tying field goal from 48 yards out, sending the game to overtime. Zuerlein went on to nail a 57-yarder in OT, sending the Rams to the Super Bowl and Saints fans into disbelief.

January 20, 2019 The no-call had Lions fans crying foul, as the Lions have notoriously been on the wrong end of controversial calls over the years.
I just witnessed the worst no call on a pass interference that I’ve ever seen and I’m a Lions fan. Wow the Saints got screwed there.

January 20, 2019 That last non call on the Rams I guarantee that would be pass interference if he were a Lions player
