Below is a pic that suggests the football was right AT the 12 when his shin was down.
I actually think this play was really close.
During the game, I was livid because I thought it was pretty obvious that Hekker made it. But after re-watching it in slo-mo a few times, it was closer than I thought.
A couple key questions: 1. When did Hekker’s shin touch the ground? It’s possible his shin on either leg touched the ground slightly before he slid out of bounds. Hekker would be down instantly at that point because #52 on Saints pushed him. 2. How accurate was the line-to-gain on that side of the field? The guy holding the chain had to move slightly to get out of Johnny’s way.

I still think it was a bad call, but it was closer than I originally thought.
Yeah, this has been getting to me in recent years. The NFL is looking more and more like it is staged and it breaks my heart. To be clear, the NFL lists itself as "Sports Entertainment", as opposed to a genuinely contested sport. Click this link at your peril and don't attack me for googling "NFL Sports entertainment", lol.....As much as I love my Rams, if the refs are going to steer the outcome so that this is basically wrestling, then I'll just peace out.
It's getting obnoxious how brazen the NFL is getting with their "narratives". When the media seems to know the story of the game before it's been played every dang week, it's not that they're psychic, it's that they've been let in on the story.
And to be clear, I don't want the Rams to win based on some "narrative".
I want to root for a sport based SOLELY on the talent of the participants. That's it.
The man literally said he couldn't explain how they let it stand. I warned y'all that crew would screw us if they were given an opportunity.
That's a bad angle to judge the placement of the ball and if it was the only one I would say no he didn't make it. But with the aerial view it's clear his hand was extended and it was an easy callI actually think this play was really close.
