Thievery costs Saints an NFC championship

Let's make no mistake, there was certainly much more that contributed to the Saints soul-crushing 26-23 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday's NFC Championship than just the officiating. A Drew Brees interception on the first drive of overtime that directly set up the Ram win. The inability of New Orleans to score touchdowns, instead settling for field goals, on their first two drives of the game. Particularly when given a short field after a Demario Davis interception on the Rams first drive, giving New Orleans the ball at the Los Angeles 16.
