Payton was told "it's a call that officials should make," regarding the referees' mistake. He also spoke to senior vice president of officiating Al Riveron, executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent and competition committee chairman Rich McKay. Goodell talked to Saints owner Gayle Benson as well, reports Shefter.
Payton and Saints fans have remained upset following referees appearing to miss a blatant pass interference call late in the Rams' 26–23 win over the Saints in the NFC title game.
