NFL Admits to Blown Penalty <br />Call in NFC Championship Game The failure to call a personal foul on the <br />Rams' Nickell Robey-Coleman for his hit <br />on the Saints' Tommylee Lewis led to a nearly unanimous cry that it cost <br />New Orleans a trip to the Super Bowl. Sean Payton, Saints head coach, said the <br />NFL called him after the game to admit that referees made a <br />mistake in not calling a penalty. In response to the <br />lawsuit this week, It's the first time since the game ended eight days ago that the league has publicly commented on the play.
