Johnny Hekker only needs 3 words to describe his favorite NFL game

Every so often, a new trend on Twitter develops that captures the attention of everyone from casual users to well-known brands. The latest trend is describing something in the most boring way possible, such as popular movies, sports moments and TV shows.

NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” asked Twitter users to name their favorite NFL games in the most boring way possible, and Johnny Hekker chimed in with a short reply. He only needed three words to describe his favorite game, and it’s one Rams and Saints fans remember fondly for very different reasons.

Of course, Hekker is referring to the NFC Championship Game between the Rams and Saints from the 2018 playoffs. It was one of the most controversial finishes in recent memory after Nickell Robey-Coleman clearly interfered with Tommylee Lewis but wasn’t called for a penalty.

Had Robey-Coleman been penalized, the game likely would’ve been over, sending the Saints instead of the Rams to Super Bowl LIII. The NFL tried to prevent plays such as that one in the future by instituting a rule allowing coaches to challenge pass interference penalties, but that was nixed after just one year.
