There will be no justice for the New Orleans Saints.
But for those who may have bet on them? One New Jersey sports book is doing its part to make things right.
PointsBet Sportsbook, the latest entrant into the increasingly-crowded Garden State sports betting game, will refund any lost point spread and moneyline bets on the Saints after they were screwed by a controversial pass interference no-call in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Commissioner has authority to take action over Rams-Saints outcome, in theory

By Mike Florio | PFT
So what can the NFL do about the outcome of the Rams-Saints game? Probably nothing. Bad calls happen. Sometimes, bad calls have bigger consequences than others.
Still, there’s language in the rulebook that could, in the right circumstances, allow the Commissioner to take extreme action in the face of a grossly unfair result.
Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1: “The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so...

NFL will consider making pass interference calls reviewable after Saints loss
(Photo by David Grunfeld, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune)
By The Washington Post
NFL leaders and the league’s rulemaking competition committee plan to give consideration this offseason to making pass interference calls subject to instant replay review.
“It will be discussed at length along with additional fouls that coaches feel should be subject to review,” said one person familiar with the league’s inner workings.
Any change would have to be approved by at least three-quarters of the 32 owners. The competition committee always has been opposed in the past to making judgment calls such as pass interference subject to review.
But the...

Rams' Nickell Robey-Coleman: 'Thank you football gods' after missed pass interference call
BY GIL LeBRETON | Special to The Advocate
They say confession is good for the soul, but Nickell Robey-Coleman, giddy and unremorseful, seemed to be enjoying his time in the postgame confessional far too much.
Did the Los Angeles Rams cornerback interfere with receiver Tommylee Lewis on the play that will live forever in Saints infamy?
“In my mind, yes, I thought there was going to be a flag,” Robey-Coleman bluntly answered, after the Rams’ 26-23 victory in overtime.
Did he see the football as it descended towards Lewis’ hands at the 5-yard line?
“No, I never saw the ball,” he confessed. ...
Drew Brees plans to return for 19th season for 'another run at it'
By Mike Triplett | ESPN Staff Writer
NEW ORLEANS -- Drew Brees, who turned 40 on Tuesday, hopes to still be playing at age 41.
When asked how positive he is that he will be back for a 19th season, the New Orleans Saints quarterback said, "I feel pretty positive."
He later said more definitively that, "I plan on being here next year and making another run [at] it."
"My mind's not even there right now. So this is all pretty fresh," Brees said after the Saints' 26-23 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday's NFC Championship Game. "But [I'm] just going to take a few days to kind of let it all settle...
'We're all ready': New Orleans Saints, their fans and the city try to grab a Super Bowl berth

Terron Armstead, like everyone else in the New Orleans Saints locker room, has waited for this chance all his life.
The Saints' left tackle, in his sixth NFL season, knows these opportunities don't come along often.
So Armstead appreciates the magnitude of what will happen at 2:05 p.m. Sunday in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, when the Saints play in what is easily the franchise's most significant game in nine years.
"Growing up, you always dream about the Super Bowl," Armstead said. "The bright lights. The thrill of it. Being a champion. Football immortality. Playing a...

With Saints a win away from Atlanta's Super Bowl, Falcons fans on edge
(AP Photo/David Goldman)
By: Tyler Estep, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution | WSBTV.com
ATLANTA - The New Orleans Saints are just one win away from playing in the Super Bowl right here in Atlanta, in the gleaming new stadium that’s home to their biggest, albeit title-less rival.
And if they’re being honest, long-suffering Falcons fans from the mayor on down really would prefer to see the Saints fail to punch their proverbial ticket. Even for a city that’s grown accustomed to having sports-related disappointment and despair delivered in extraordinary fashion, this would be a new level of indignity.
“All I can say is, we don’t need no ‘who...
Why Patriots, Saints have advantage in most pressure-filled game NFL can offer

By Jeff Diamond | Sporting News
Conference championship week always reminds me of the good — and bad — personal experiences with my teams in the most pressure-filled game of the NFL season.
Yes, I've always believed NFL conference title games rise above the Super Bowl in magnitude from a team exec's perspective. For any team other than New England, for whom it's always Super Bowl win or bust, a loss in this round is the ultimate downer with a Super Bowl trip on the line.
My teams played in this game six times, winning two (1976 Vikings, 1999 Titans) and losing four (Vikings in 1977, ‘87 and ‘98 and Titans in 2002). We lost...
Saints and Rams have been on collision course — now it’s D-Day

By Paul Schwartz | New York Post
NEW ORLEANS — The last time Drew Brees and the Saints advanced this far was after the 2009 season, and the quarterback remembers how his team and the Vikings were tracking each other week after week, month after month.
“We all felt that is who we were going to see in the NFC Championship Game,’’ Brees said. “I think this year, in many respects, that was kind of the same idea. We looked across the league and saw what the Rams were doing and the success they were having.’’
The Saints were afforded a first-hand look at the Rams on Nov. 4, engaging in an...
NFC Championship preview - Can Saints take advantage of Rams secondary?

By Simon A. M. Milham | Yahoo Sports
As with the AFC Championship, No.1 and No.2 seeds in the NFC clash on Sunday for the right to play in Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta on Sunday, February 3.
The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Rams earned the two-best regular-season records in the NFL, each recording 13-3 marks, but it is the Saints who have the No.1 seeding and therefore host the NFC Championship game for the first time since they won the Super Bowl XLIV nine years ago.
The teams met at the Superdome in Week 9, with that early November clash going 45-35 to the Saints. It was the Rams’ third successive defeat by the...
Meet Taysom Hill, the New Orleans Saints' (not-so-secret) secret weapon

By Jarrett Bell | USA Today
Items of interest as major rematches loom for the NFL's championship weekend:
X-factor: Taysom Hill. He’s the Saints’ not-so-secret, secret weapon. In a season when it’s been challenging for Drew Brees to rely on weapons in the passing game beyond Michael Thomas (125 catches) and Alvin Kamara (91), the third-string quarterback -- in a linebacker’s body (6-2, 220), with running back speed (4.4 in the 40) -- has been another type of force. Especially in short-yardage situations and on special teams. In...
