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.

    • I think we pick it up and then someone else ends up emerging as the QB next year and we end up cutting him in year 5 and eating it.  That would be the most on brand thing to happen.
    • Evero has his faults, but even in that loss, the team only gave up 20 points. Your post gets to the heart of the matter. We are not a talented team on defense at this time. Some of our younger guys may develop w/more playing time, but for now we have no impact players at LB or EDGE. We could really use a ball-hawking S on the back end as well. We have exactly two players that have to be accounted for on every play, D. Brown, and J.Horn. Mike Jackson has been solid. The other starters would probably be backups on most the upper echelon NFL teams. We really can't expect this team to a Top 10 defense with such a lack of talent. All things considered I've been somewhat impressed with how much better they have played this year.   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-points-per-game   https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-average-team-passer-rating We are in the top 15 in terms of points allowed per game (22.6) and top 12 in defensive passer rating (88.9). And, we are doing this without a formidable PASS RUSH. Even our rushing defense has improved. We are #16 in rushing yards allowed per game (116) compared to 179 per game last season. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/opponent-rushing-yards-per-game I wouldn't cry if Evero moved on after the season, but his defense isn't the biggest worry for our team.
