The Saints and pass interference calls will forever live in infamy after the Rams’ Nickell Robey-Coleman committed an act that is objectively pass interference against the Saints, only to have it not called. The Rams won the game and moved onto the Super Bowl.
But that isn’t the most recent gripe some people have about pass interference in a Saints game. This time, it’s Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph, who some think pushed off in the end zone to make the overtime touchdown reception against the Saints this year.
Does Rudolph think that?
“Absolutely not,” Rudolph said on The Pat McAfee Show. “It’s a reviewable play. The rule was changed for (the Saints), because of what happened the year prior.”
Rudolph is referring to the aforementioned Rams-Saints game, that eventually led to the NFL deciding that offensive and defensive pass interference calls, or no-calls, can be reviewed. Coaches can challenge the ruling, and in the final two minutes of either half, it can go to booth review.
