WATCH: NFL officials face questioning on ‘no-call’ from NFC Championship Game

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and three league officials will have to answer questions under oath about the no-call from January’s NFC Championship Game.

A Louisiana judge ordered Monday that the four people responsible for no flag being thrown on a now-infamous play on New Orleans’ last drive of regulation in that game will have to be honest about why the call wasn’t made.

If you don’t remember the exact details of the play that is now still being discussed, the no-call on what attorney Antonio LeMon calls “flagrant pass inference and roughing,” cost the Saints a first-down and likely an opportunity to run out the clock before the Los Angeles Rams had an opportunity to score again.

LeMon’s lawsuit seeks $75,000 in damages and plans to donate the money, if the NFL is ordered to pay up, to charity.
