NFL officials came under heavy scrutiny Sunday night during the NFC Championship Game between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints over a blown call late in the fourth quarter.
The call was viewed as a factor in the Rams' success at tying the game and then winning in overtime to advance to the Super Bowl.
Speculation swirled after the game on whether the league would admit that the referees had erred. No word had come as of early Monday morning, but Saints coach Sean Payton said league officials told him the call had been blown.
With the Saints driving, quarterback Drew Brees threw a pass toward wide receiver Tommylee Lewis. It appeared Lewis was in good position to catch the ball, but Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman barreled into him and appeared to hit him with his helmet.
