It’s kind of ironic that fans of the New Orleans Saints, along with the team’s coaches and players, are now complaining about how NFL referees should know what is and isn’t pass interference following what happened late in Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the Los Angeles Rams.
In case you missed it, referees in Sunday’s NFC Championship failed to call a pass interference penalty on Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman after he clearly hit Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis too soon and while he was attempting to catch a third and 10 pass from quarterback Drew Brees down the right sideline with 1:49 left in the fourth quarter.
