The Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl, and for the Los Angeles Rams it\u2019s \u201ccoulda would shoulda\u201d, however anyone saying that the missed call featuring the Rams and New Orleans Saints in their 2018-2019 Championship Game is similar to that Seattle play, I don\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n
My friends, welcome to a Ramblin Random Ramsdon!<\/p>\n
The two calls in question are NOT the same type of call. What happened when the Rams played in New Orleans was a \u201cmissed\u201d call and it stayed missed, for better or worse. What happened when the Seahawks were awarded a 2-point conversion on Thursday Night Football against the Rams was not just a missed call, but someone from the broadcast calling the league (not the league reviewing it internally), offering their two cents, AND THEN the call was changed because of that third-party interference.<\/p>\n
Has that ever happened before?<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll be redundant, the Seahawks beat the Rams. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl. Check.<\/p>\n
Great, now back to the topic at hand. In the 2018 NFC Championship Game, the ref(s) \u201cmissed\u201d a clear pass interference call on the Rams, however we see that happen all the time. Pass interferences get missed. A lot of physical penalties (holding, facemask, ect.) get missed or overlooked. That\u2019s part of the game.<\/p>\n
In the Week 16 Thursday Night Game, as far as I can tell, the NFL missed a call (normal), and then someone from Amazon Prime called the NFL to let them know what they missed (not normal), and then the call was overturned (that\u2019s never happened before, or it\u2019s never been documented to happen).<\/p>\n
Please correct me if I am wrong, but no 2-point play has EVER happened that way. To the best of my knowledge, no TV or streaming broadcast person has been able to call NFL offices during a game, and change a call, that is exactly what happened in Week 16 of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s new territory, that\u2019s why it\u2019s news.<\/p>\n
The Rams blew that game, and a 16-point lead. Not arguing that, but that 2-point play was strange, and its back in the forefront of the news due to the league and sources spilling the beans on how that play was overturned this week.<\/p>\n
Why didn\u2019t they tell us this weeks ago? A good and fair question.<\/p>\n
Does it matter? No, I guess not. The NFL works in mysterious ways, nothing new about that. I\u2019d be lying if I told you I was done with watching the NFL. I\u2019d be lying if I said the NFL got the call wrong, I think they got it right, but how they got there? That\u2019s the cause for pause and discussion.<\/p>\n
You can disagree! I am wrong often.<\/p>\n
