Refs give Saints the short end for the third straight game

The Saints are 0-3 in their last three games against what has become their most dominant opponent–NFL officials.

It all started, of course, with the non-call for pass interference in the 2018 NFC Championship that gave Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman a free pass on a clear interference penalty that cost the Saints a trip to Super Bowl LIII and was the precursur to the new rule allowing coaches to challenge pass interference calls. Bill Vinovich’s crew blew one of the most obvious and important examples of interference in recent memory, and there were no known repercussions.
