Ex-Saint Tommylee Lewis: 'I'm Over' NFC Championship Blown Pass Interference Call
Wide receiver Tommylee Lewis has moved on from the Saints' disappointment and discussing last season's blown pass interference call in the NFC Championship.
As a result of the blown call, the NFL has implemented new instant replay review rules for the upcoming season. However, when asked if he liked the new rule, Lewis told the Detroit Free Press, "I guess. I don't really–I don't–whatever."
Under the new rule, which is in effect for the 2019 season only, all called or un-called pass interference penalties outside of the final two minutes of either half of the game are subject to a coach's challenge. Only booth officials can initiate pass interference reviews within the final two minutes.
