A controversial call happened during Sunday's San Francisco 49ers vs New Orleans Saints game, where tight end Jimmy Graham was called for offensive pass interference on his Hail Mary touchdown catch.
Graham was called for pushing off 49ers cornerback Perrish Cox, but looking closely you could see that Cox basically flopped. The game ended up heading into overtime, where the Niners won the game.
If it weren't for that OPI, the Saints would've been the winners of this one. Graham, of course, was not happy about the call.
“It was definitely not a push-off,” Graham said, via the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “I’m running down the field telling myself, ‘Whatever you do, don’t push off.’ It’s interesting how guys grab me everywhere on the field and I put literally two fingers on somebody and they make that kind of call.
“The general consensus is, you go down there, you can kick somebody in the chest and go up there and get it and you’ll be fine. But apparently not.”
The Saints now drop to 4-5 on the season, but they still hold the NFC South division lead as of right now.
