There were a number of calls that didn’t get called while there were a number of calls that shouldn’t have been called.
Case and point:
Towards the end of the game a db tackled Olave before the ball got to him, but the refs didn’t throw a flag. Troy “CTE” Aikman joked, “yeah, these refs just want to go home.” Hardy har har.
However earlier in the game the refs called holding on the Saints when they were on defense, and they were defending against a run play. How does one get flagged for holding on a run play?
The refs didn’t cause the Saints to lose, but they certainly greased the skids to it inevitably happening.
