NFL officiating crew under scrutiny after missed calls
The officiating crew that did not call a blatant and potentially game-deciding pass interference penalty during Sunday night's game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers game missed a similar call one week earlier in Atlanta on a play that harkened back to one of the most controversial non-calls in NFL history....
Joke. Dire consequences.
Officials are evaluated on every play of every game. League officiating staff analyze the performance of every official, both for the calls that are made and those that are not. That review results in a grade which plays a major role in determining how to help the officials improve their performance as well as decide which officials will officiate in the playoffs. There are also year-end evaluations of every official.
I remember that, it wasn't pass interference, it was a mugging.
Missed pass interference calls are nothing new to the Saints, who famously experienced a missed pass interference in the NFC Championship Game against the Rams after the 2018 season, when Los Angeles defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman got away with blatant pass interference near the end of regulation. If the penalty had been called by the officiating crew led by referee Bill Vinovich, New Orleans likely would have reached the Super Bowl instead of Los Angeles
