NFL competition committee says this crucial Super Bowl play would have been interference against Patriots originally appeared on nbcsportsboston.com
On the same night that the NFL passed a rule allowing coaches to challenge pass interference calls and non-calls, the competition committee admitted they were wrong about a key play near the end of Super Bowl LIII.
With four minutes left in the game and the Patriots up 10-3, Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks dropped a pass that would have put Los Angeles on the one-yard line. The committee said Tuesday that the play should have been called defensive interference against the Pats.
