I understand the frustration, but this is ridiculous. There are many innocuous calls over the course of a game and a season that might in hindsight be categorized as “wrong” or “unfair”

That definitely wasn't an innocuous call.
innocuous: adjective
not harmful or injurious; harmless

Grab your popcorns Wejo.... this is a race against time but i am pretty sure a local judge is going to grant emergency relief this week.... then the NFL will have to stick their heads out of the sand in a hurry. They have been strangely very quiet since Sunday....
They should replay the game from the point of the missed call...and the rules allow for it. Restore the integrity of the game. We are hurtin' down here in the Big Easy.
The actual rule reads as follows
"The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or
corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game
which he deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional
football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game. "
This seems like a stretch to say a missed call by an official is covered here, at least to me.

Article 2 seems pertinent as well
"Article 2 The authority and measures provided for in this entire Section 2 do not constitute a protest
machinery for NFL clubs to avail themselves of in the event a dispute arises over the result of a game. The
investigation called for in this Section 2 will be conducted solely on the Commissioner’s initiative to review
an act or occurrence that he deems so extraordinary or unfair that the result of the game in question would
be inequitable to one of the participating teams. The Commissioner will not apply his authority in cases of
complaints by clubs concerning judgmental errors or routine errors of omission by game officials. Games
involving such complaints will continue to stand as completed.

Horrible call yes but I agree with Duane. It would be a terrible precedent to set for all of the sporting world and will likely get the boot from any judge.
I forget which were the first fans to try this (sometime in the 70s?), but just one example among many.

If you actually read this section, it refers to club action(example- the club screws with the clock),
non-participants(refs, coaches, and players are the participants, example- fan comes out of the stands to tackle a runner as he was going in for the wining score.) or calamity-(example- as the winning kick goes up, there is an earthquake, and the goal post shifts, and the kick misses).

Rules do not allow for it.
Also, what about the facemask on Goff that was missed?
Would have been first and goal at the 1 yard line.
Rams score a touchdown, and the score is 24-20.
Everything changes.
Except that N.O. fans are still a bunch of crying babies...
Shut up Saints fans!!!! Funny how hardly anyone talks about Golf getting his face mask grabbed by the Saints defensive player the series before. Like that would not have made a difference if the Rams got that call.!!!You had your chances and blew them. I know if sucks, but that's how the ball bounces sometimes.

Yep- multi-million or billionaires up in arms about horrible call (and it was a horrible non-call) in Coliseum Event and willing to spend butt loads of cash to express their disgust but as for feeding the hungry and housing the homeless not so much outrage in the Homeland.
Crap like this will keep the Homelanders preoccupied for a few weeks until the next Spectacle diverts their attentions:
The spectacle presents itself simultaneously as all of society, as part of society, and as instrument of unification. As a part of society it is specifically the sector which concentrates all gazing and all consciousness.
The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.

Any team in that situation would have its fans crying.

If a fan or someone off the bench tackled a player running for a TD, that can be handled immediately.
Formal complaint from the Governor. This is serious....
The NFL wanted the Rams in the Super bowl. And it got it. They wanted the Mahomes team in also, but the GOAT said no. The call in that game was the worst I've ever seen.

One of the announcers said that had they gotten the call the Saints could have run the clock down to 4 seconds, so the only remaining plays would have been the FG attempt and the kick-off.
