NFL opposes Rams-Saints do-over, saying it could cost league more than $100M: court filing

By Paulina Dedaj - January 26, 2019

A rematch of last weekend’s NFC Championship Game due to bad call could cost the league millions, the NFL said Friday.

NFL Chief Financial Officer Joseph Siclare said in a sworn affidavit that replaying the final minutes of last Sunday’s game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints because of a bad call could cost the NFL “more than $100 million” because it could mean delaying Super Bowl LIII.

People associated with the Saints are acting like this is the first blown call ever in the history of football. Asking to re-do the final part of the game is beyond preposterous. Some calls don't go your way, that's life. Suck it up and move on.

I agree with you. And to (Gasp!!) insert a few facts in the discussion, I found an interesting clip on twitter. Make sure to watch with the sound on.

So it appears that the pass was tipped making PI irrelevant and there were two OL penalties.

I'm 29 and I've been following the NFL for at least 18 years now and I have never seen anything like this before.

This wasn't just another penalty. It was the worst missed-call in decades if not NFL history. Not to mention this happened in a Championship game and sent the wrong team to the SB. It is outrageous.

I'm almost the same age as you, and you must not be looking very hard... How about the Jesse James non-catch for Pittsburgh in the playoffs just last year? Or Dez Bryant's catch that wasn't really a catch? Or for the Vikings in 2009 when Ben Leber had a phantom PI called against him in OT to put the Saints in FG range and win?

To be fair, the Jesse James and Dez catches weren't missed calls. The refs simply followed a very stupid rule that has been changed since. As much as I hated that rule, they made the right call back then.
