Pass interference on Vikings' overtime TD vs. Saints? Ex-NFL refs says yes

 

Quote

 

No flag was thrown for offensive pass interference. But at least one former NFL official thinks a rule was broken during the play.

"It is illegal for an offensive player to extend his arm or arms and create clear separation from the defender. That was OPI," former NFL official Terry McAulay tweeted shortly after the game.

John Parry, a former NFL official who works for ESPN, echoed McAulay's assessment.

I think the officials on the field let it go because the DB had hands on the TE too...what amounts to 'chicken fighting'.  I don't think the officials wanted to touch such a tight call in the playoffs with a 10-foot pole.  I think it was a judgement call and nowhere the blown call like the Rams game last year.

    • The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.
    • Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.   
    • Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
