The game was sent into overtime as Greg Zuerlein kicked a 48-yard field goal with 19 seconds to the game. Ultimately Rams won the game with a 57 yarder.
New Orleans Saints seem right on being aggravated as they heard no call from the officials as to what happened in the fourth quarter.
With final two minutes to the game, Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman made a clear pass interference penalty on receiver Tommylee Lewis, which was not flagged.
If the penalty had been called, it would have given the Saints a fresh start to clinch the victory.
However, it was Zuerlein who led the Rams with his field goal to move into the Super Bowl.
