Report: NFL to Admit Blowing Pass Interference Non-Call During Rams vs. Saints

According to Pro Football Talk, the NFL will publicly admit the officials in Sunday's NFC Championship Game missed obvious pass interference by Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman on the New Orleans Saints' penultimate possession of regulation.

Robey-Coleman hit Tommylee Lewis well before Drew Brees' third-down pass arrived, and the Saints settled for a 31-yard field goal after the officials didn't throw a flag. The Rams then drove 45 yards to force overtime with a 48-yard field goal before winning the game 26-23 in the extra period on a 57-yarder by Greg Zuerlein.
