The referees called a shitty game, including robbing the Rams of a chance to score a touchdown early in the game when they didn't call an egregious defensive holding on 3rd down when the Rams were driving deep in Saints territory.

Plus, there was a blatant facemask of Jared Goff late in the 4th quarter that was not called, which also likely cost the Rams a touchdown (they instead had to settle for a field goal.)


They called 3 penalties against the Saints the entire game, and 7 against the Rams. The Saints didn't lose that game because of that call, if you want to be impartial about it and consider the entire game. Prior to that non-call they had a chance to take almost all of the time off of the clock, and instead chose to pass the ball twice, saving the Rams 40 seconds AND a timeout. Then they had the ball first in overtime, and the Rams forced a turnover.


So, while that non-call was obviously crucial when it occurred and very likely would have won the Saints the game, it did not occur in a vacuum, completely unrelated to everything that happened in the previous 58 minutes and 15 seconds of game-time prior to that play.


The Rams overcame the bad calls against them, and outplayed the Saints from late in the 2nd quarter onward. The Saints didn't overcome the bad calls against them, including some very questionable play-calling late in the 4th quarter.
