Five years after the controversial 'NOLA No-Call' during the NFC Championship game, the event remains a significant moment in New Orleans Saints history. Rod Walker revisited the infamous play by interviewing Tommylee Lewis, the Saints wide receiver involved in the no-call, marking the first time Lewis has spoken about the incident, as reported by @nolanews. The play has been described as the most heart-wrenching loss in the franchise's history, and according to Jeff Duncan, the Saints have never fully recovered. Interestingly, none of the seven on-field officials from that game have officiated a Saints game since. Former Saints coach Sean Payton, when asked to comment on the anniversary, responded with a silent text containing only a photo, with no comment. The no-call was a pivotal moment where a missed pass interference call against the Rams allowed them to win the game and advance to the Super Bowl, despite the Saints being favored by three points (Saints -3 ❌).
5 years ago today, this somehow wasn’t ruled pass interference and the Rams would go on to win the NFC Championship 🧐 Saints -3 ❌ https://t.co/ByvZbxFcLA
