Many across the NFL were reportedly unhappy with the officiating in last weekend's game between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, which resulted in Seattle earning a playoff berth.
The Seahawks pulled off a 19-16 overtime win, which catapulted Seattle into the playoffs with the help of the Detroit Lions' 20-16 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, multiple NFL executives and coaches felt calls favored Seattle in the game and ultimately cost Detroit a chance to make the playoffs.
As a result, there is a desire within the NFL for the league to improve its process of "screening, hiring and training" its officials.
