Rams CB Nickell Robey-Coleman Claims Ball was Tipped on Missed Pass Interference
Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman had no trouble admitting his hit on Tommylee Lewis warranted a pass-interference flag after the NFC Championship on Jan. 20. But he appears to have changed his story one week later.
Robey-Coleman was reportedly told by a teammate that Drew Brees' pass was tipped at the line of scrimmage, allowing Coleman to interfere with Lewis. Video was released on Saturday with an alternate view of Brees's pass, with Rams defensive end Michael Brockers potentially touching the ball before it went past his outstretched arm.
