This is from an article in The Athletic.............
Anyway, here’s what Woods said about the call:
“No, obviously not (pass interference),” Woods said. “He’s playing defensive back, he’s playing hands-on, he’s checking him. As he gets into his route, the receiver initiates the contact. The quarterback is literally just throwing the ball in the area. It wasn’t even a catchable ball. Obviously they make the call, it is what it is. You have to keep playing and finish the game. Unfortunately, they were in such close proximity with such little time, fresh set of downs. Just have to close it out when we do get put in those situations.”
But Woods agreed that the game never should have come down to one call.
“We just have to close out the game,” Woods said. “We knew it was going to go until the clock hit zero. Just got to stay consistent, keep playing well, and don’t put the game in referees’ hands. … Start early on, and we won’t be in that situation.”
