Shit call on the Saints.

but f**k, the non face mask call 2 yds out on Goff was game changing. New set of downs 1 yd out, instead they have to go for a FG because not one of the idiot zebras see a clear FM.

The officiating was horrendous all around.

It's not the Rams fault that the call wasn't made and any team that gets to the AFC/NFC game is a worthy Superbowl contender.

The issue is simply that the call wasn't made regardless of who benefitted or didn't.

It was clear that the officials were letting things slide considering how pedantic they had been throughout the regular season, BUT just because you're told to be lenient doesn't mean you should lose the ability to think for yourself.

There was zero intention to defend the pass, I'm not even convinced he knew the ball was coming. It was flat out search and destroy on that play and it's embarrassing that a supposed competent official could not make that call regardless of directive.

100%. The defender had every intention on laying that receiver out. His arms were tucked in and he accelerated. It was actually a bonehead play from the defender which turned out to be the match winner. Not even close to a 50/50 call. 100% wrong no call.

This is the other reason i hate calls like that... it overshadows and distracts people from what actually happened in the game too

The Saints got the ball 4 times in the final qtr and OT. They put up 3 points. They got the ball first in OT, with a chance to overcome the bad call and win anyways, they had their chances, many of them... and threw an INT which ultimately ended the game

The call was ridiculously bad and will be spoken about a lot but this Saints offence choked badly down the stretch. Including on drives with very good field position. And it'll be forgotten and forgiven because of the blow call.

Definite choke job by them.....but they still just did enough to get that win.

The Pats defence is f**king awesome today. Holding the Chiefs to a total of 32 yards in the first half is f**king beast.

Long way to go yet.

Massive First half, but this Chiefs O is too high powered not to get going eventually, Pats need to still be on point in the 2nd
