Al Riveron, the senior vice president of officiating, confirmed that the final play of the NFC Wild-Card matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints was appropriately upheld after further review.
"We looked at all of the angles that FOX afforded us, and FOX gave us some great views," Riveron said to pool reporter Larry Holder following the game. "There is contact by both players, but none of that contact rises to the level of a foul. This is consistent with what we've done all year long, we left the ruling on the field.
