Under the new PI review rules, Super Bowl LIII could have been very differentAs it turned out, the Rams wound up with a bit of weird officiating karma in the Super Bowl. As Michael Giardi of the NFL Network pointed out, this play in which Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore held the arm of receiver Brandin Cooks should have also been pass interference, but it also wasn’t called.
If Rams head coach Sean McVay would have been able to challenge the non-call, and it was proclaimed pass interference, the Rams would have had the ball at the New England one-yard line with a chance to tie the game at 10-10, Just as we will never know what might have happened in the NFC CHampionshup game had the officiating been correct, we’ll never know how that would have changed the outcome of the lowest-scoring Super Bowl ever.
