Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy Talks Missed PI in Saints vs. Rams on Senate Floor

Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy used his time Friday on the Senate floor to question the NFL and commissioner Roger Goodell for the silence since officials missed an obvious pass interference call on Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman in the NFC Championship Game.

"The state of Louisiana is outraged," Cassidy said about the missed call in the New Orleans Saints' 26-23 overtime loss.

Although Saints head coach Sean Payton said NFL head of officiating Al Riveron told him the officials "blew the call," neither Goodell nor the league office has released a statement on the potentially game-changing decision.
