Retiring Saints tight end Benjamin Watson is calling out the commish. He’s asking the NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to “lead by example” and address Sunday’s officiating error that cost New Orleans a shot to reach the Super Bowl.
In a social media post, Watson tweeted:

Robey-Coleman admitted it was pass interference, and the NFL’s head of officials, Alberto Riveron, told Saints coach Sean Payton after the game that the officials “blew the call.”
