New Orleans Saints fans are still reeling from the NFC Championship game, a game the team lost in part due to a controversial no-call on obvious pass interference. Fans are so irate, one group has sued the NFL to replay the game and another started a petition demanding the same. Under Rule 17, Section 2, the NFL Commissioner can reverse a game's result and replay the entire game, or at the point when the extraordinary event occurred. Should it happen?
PERSPECTIVES
The result of a playoff game has never been reversed nor replayed in NFL history, but extraordinary situations call for extraordinary measures.
