Nickell Robey-Coleman Admits to Hitting Tommylee Lewis on Controversial No-Call

Even Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman admits he should have been called for pass interference in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints.

"Yes, I got there too early," he said after the game, per Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated. "I was beat, and I was trying to save the touchdown."

Robey-Coleman hit Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis on a third-down pass play and likely should have been called for pass interference, but the officials kept the flag in their pocket and ruled it a no-call. The Saints were held to a field goal on the drive, allowing the Rams to come back and earn a 26-23 win in the NFC Championship Game.
