Pro golfer Jason Dufner made good on his promise to let the golf world know that he doesn't think the right team represented the NFC in Super Bowl LIII.

Sporting a ball cap provided by his friend, local car dealership owner Matt Bowers, Dufner trod the links today with the message "#Saints Got Robbed" atop his head.

Bowers also paid for billboards ahead of the Super Bowl in Atlanta to remind the NFL how badly its referees blew it in the closing moments of the NFC Championship Game.

In case you forgot (and if you did, a lot of the Who Dat Nation would probably like to know how you did it -- also, sorry, but we're about to remind you), with 1:49 left in regulation and the game tied, Los Angeles Rams defensive back Nickel Robey-Coleman absolutely blasted Saints receiver TommyLee Lewis after the ball was thrown but long before it got anywhere near him. Robey-Coleman also made helmet-to-helmet contact with Lewis. Despite the fact that 73,028 fans in attendance saw the penalty, the officiating crew kept their flags in their pockets.

Had either penalty been called, the result would have been an automatic first-and-goal for the Saints, giving the Black & Gold the opportunity to bleed the clock almost to nothing before kicking the likely game-winning field goal.

Instead, the Rams went on to win it in overtime, then proceeded to lay an absolute stinker of an egg two weeks later in the Super Bowl. They scored only three points and lost to the New England Patriots 13-3 -- the lowest-scoring title game in the Super Bowl era.

The NFL later admitted the officiating crew got it wrong. Outrage over the incompetence led to a widespread movement in the Crescent City to boycott watching the Super Bowl, and instead, an event that came to be known as "Boycott Bowl" helped raise more than $50,000 for charity.
