NFL Players React to Missed Pass Interference Call in NFC Championship

Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman controversially wasn't flagged for pass interference in the final two minutes of regulation.

Referees missed what appeared to be a blatant pass-interference call against Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman on Sunday, a critical play in Los Angeles' 26-23 victory over the Saints in the NFC Championship Game. 

The missed call forced stalled a late drive by the Saints, forcing them to kick a field goal and giving the Rams time to even the score to force overtime. In overtime, Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein nailed a 57-yard field goal for the win after New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees threw an interception. 

A slate of players and media members around the league chimed in on Twitter about the missed call. 

There needs to be some form of accountability. NEEDS to be.
