New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan has a right to be disappointed. He can be frustrated, too. His defense was outplayed by the Los Angeles Rams in a game that turned into a 27-9 rout.
Before that, when things were all tied up at 3-3, Jordan made the play of the game. He recovered a fumble from Rams quarterback Jared Goff and streaked 89 yards into the end zone for a defensive touchdown, which would have granted the Saints a commanding early-game lead.
But it wasn’t meant to be. One of the officials lost his mind and whistled to kill the play when Jordan was about 20 yards into his sprint, assuming it was an incomplete pass and abandoning NFL procedure to let replay decide.
