So many FEELINGS.
The NFC Championship Game gave us a call for the ages that will join the annals of NFL infamy for the non-call on pass interference Rams’ DB Nickell Robey-Coleman, who seemingly caused an obvious pass interference penalty in the fourth quarter.

Justification on the broadcast came fast and furious, explaining how it was a close call, how things look worse in slow motion — but to the rest of the world it was the call that helped decide who would go to the Super Bowl.
Saints fans were obviously furious.
Wow. We mean. Wow.

Game was rigged. NFL wanted Rams in the Super Bowl for television ratings.

Rams fans were obviously amped.
The #Saints big mad! Lol . The refs didn’t blow the lead and didnt allow the rams to tie it for ot and didn’t allow the rams to get a int and hit a 57 yarder . What about the missed Goff face mask and the missed delay of games ? Lol #LaRams

Listen man, I get the missed call on NRC was awful. It shoulda been PI, it should have been 1st down.

But the drive right before on the Jared Goff goal line scramble, they missed a clear facemask. It should have been called, should have been 1st down from the 1.
Goes both ways.
Former and current NFL players couldn’t believe it.
Bro what was that lmao

Robey-Coleman had no delusions about the play. He said after the game that it should’ve drew a flag:
He hadn't seen it, so I showed Nickell Robey-Coleman the replay of his hit on Tommylee Lewis. "Oh, hell yeah," he said. "That was PI." While admitting that, he also gave a fascinating, entirely convincing breakdown of why and how it was a smart play.

Even Todd Gurley went to social media to celebrate the moment.
Yeah, this is going to be one of those moments we talk about for a long, long time.
