NEW ORLEANS (97.1 The Ticket) -- Sunday's NFC Championship game between the Saints and Rams was heavy with drama and controversy.
Aside from the "Whistle Monsta" breaking the Internet, the Saints appeared to be on the wrong end of a brutal no-call near the end of regulation.
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.
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.
The no-call had Lions fans crying foul, as the Lions have notoriously been on the wrong end of controversial calls over the years.
