Multiple NFL executives and coaches complained about the officiating in last week’s game between the Seahawks and Rams and are calling for the league to review its practices for hiring and training referees, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports.
That game, which had a significant impact on the playoff picture, was called “the worst officiated game of the year” by one source.
Seattle beat Los Angeles in overtime, which eliminated Detroit from the playoffs and put the Seahawks one Packers loss away from the postseason. Had the Rams won the game, the Lions would have clinched a playoff spot with their win over Green Bay Sunday night.
