The Atlanta Falcons came out on top over the Los Angeles Rams, but it wouldn’t come without a questionable no-call in a day of questionable officiating.
Sammy Watkins was held in the end zone on crucial 4th down, but the refs missed it
This one seemed a little too bad to not call.
It appeared on a foutth and goal from the Falcons’ 5-yard line, that linebacker Deion Jones held Sammy Watkins. The Rams didn’t convert on the play, and would turn the ball over on downs with no call made:
It was a rough way for the Rams to end the drive, after going 16 plays and 73 yards only to fall short.
The Rams still got another possession afterward, but ended up going four plays to turn the ball over on downs yet again, securing the Falcons’ 26-13 win.
The officiating in the Falcons-Rams game was much better than it was in the Titans-Chiefs game, but this seems like one that perhaps shouldn’t go without being called.
Whistles often get swallowed late in games, especially in the postseason. But this one seemed a little too obvious.
Maybe Ed Hochuli should put those glasses back on!
