Social media is furious with NFL officiating in Commanders-Saints game

NFL Saints Commanders Foster Moreau Spencer Rattler Vegas (Organization)

If you watched Sunday’s game between the Washington Commanders and New Orleans, you likely saw arguably the most egregious NFL officiating error of the 2024 season. We say it’s arguable because there are far too many to count across the league.

New Orleans quarterback Spencer Rattler completed a pass to tight end Foster Moreau at the Washington one-yard line with nine seconds remaining. The clock should’ve kept rolling as Moreau was down in the field of play, and the Saints had no timeouts remaining.

It didn’t, and almost four seconds went off the clock. This allowed Rattler time to get to the line of scrimmage and set his teammates before spiking the ball with three seconds remaining. On the next play, Rattler threw a touchdown pass to Moreau, and the Saints went for the two-point conversion — and win — but missed, preserving a 20-19 win for the Commanders.

During the game and after, social media was angry about the error.

Here are some of those reactions via X.

 

It’s becoming more difficult for the NFL to beat these types of allegations.
