Background
With the game tied 20-20 late in the fourth quarter, Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman interfered with Tommylee Lewis near the Rams' 13-yard line without a flag, the play called the 'NOLA No-Call'. New Orleans settled for a field goal with 1:41 left and the Rams answered to force overtime. The Saints won the toss, but a Drew Brees interception set up Greg Zuerlein's winning field goal. Both teams had finished 13-3, with the Saints seeded first.
