The New Orleans Saints are not going to get over that blown call any time soon.
Saints defensive end Cam Jordan arrived for Sunday’s Pro Bowl wearing a T-shirt calling out NFL officials, a week after his team lost the NFC Championship Game partly due to a missed pass interference penalty that wasn’t called on the Los Angeles Rams.
The shirt read “Make calls, not apologies” on the front and “Blow whistles, not games” on the back.

Saints coach Sean Payton said immediately after last week’s game that the league office told him the officials blew the call. Even the offending player, Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman, agreed he should have been flagged for the play.
In the past week, billboards have been purchased, lawsuits have been filed and a U.S. Senator from Louisiana gave a speech on the Senate floor all concerning the referees’ error that many argue changed the likely outcome of the game.
