The NFL issued a clarification of Roger Goodell's statements Thursday, saying the commissioner did not claim he spoke to New Orleans Saints players about the controversial no-call on Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman.
"Listen, we understand the frustration of the fans. I've talked to Coach Payton," a league-issued transcript read, per Mike Triplett of ESPN. "The team, the players, we understand the frustration they feel right now, and we certainly want to address that."
When Goodell spoke to the media Wednesday, he appeared to be saying he spoke with Sean Payton, players and fans about the missed call.
