The controversy led to a rule change during the offseason that eventually allowed coaches to challenge pass interference calls (and no-calls) during the 2019 season. The irony is that the only reason interference is even reviewable is because of last year's NFC Championship Game when the Saints lost to the Rams after the officiating crew missed a blatant pass interference, where Los Angeles defender Nickell Robey-Coleman hit TommyLee Lewis before the ball arrived. Instead, the interference went uncalled, and the Vikings won the game on the controversial touchdown. If Minnesota had settled for a field goal, then the Saints would have gotten the ball back trailing 23-20. The no-call was huge, because a touchdown was the only way the Vikings could end the game at that point.
