NFL fans ripped officials for missing blatant pass interference that helped Rams
Stop me if you’ve heard this story before, but the Rams benefited from the officials missing a blatant pass interference penalty. It’s obviously not the first time this has happened (see: NFC Championship Game, 2018), and fans certainly did not forget that little fact, either.
But late in the fourth quarter against the Seahawks on Tuesday night, Russell Wilson threw deep for DeeJay Dallas on fourth-and-6 with Seattle trailing 17-10. Ernest Jones was in coverage and he failed to get his head around to the football, raking his arm down on Dallas’ to cause the incompletion.
There was no flag thrown despite it clearly being a penalty, resulting in a turnover on downs – which was further helped by Dallas kicking the ball to draw an unsportsmanlike penalty.
Dallas, rightfully, upset kicks the ball after the no call and gets penalized. LA in FG range pic.twitter.com/gLARCNP1Vm

Fans, analysts and just about everyone on Twitter had the same reaction to the no-call, ripping Shawn Hochuli’s crew from missing the blatant foul by Jones. The Rams took over and scored three points on the ensuing drive, sealing the 20-10 win.
Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter.
Double whammy hurts the Seahawks. Missed PI compounded with an unsportsmanlike penalty due to a missed call.
Officiating continues to play a major role in pivotal games.

Wow the non-PI on that Deejay Dallas catch is the new worst call of the 2021 season. Unbelievable!

Well, not the first time Rams have benefited from an uncalled defensive pass interference penalty.

That was embarrassing non-call on DPI in Seahawks-Rams. And to add personal foul against Seahawks on top of the missed call was ridiculous.

The officials missed a huge pass interference that should've been called on the Rams, then gave the Seahawks a 15-yard penalty for arguing the call. https://t.co/RfR54BSMnd

NFL officiating… continues to suck

Brutally bad officiating in SEA/LAR

That was 100% pass interference on the Rams.

Rams commit a blatant pass interference in a big game that doesn’t get called. They can’t keep getting away with this. https://t.co/2CoEfeqxVW

Two plays that would have changed this game to a Seahawks W. Refs are on the @RamsNFL payroll and won’t call pass interference! 🗣 pic.twitter.com/NZgvxvzLMj
