You can stop a team in the RZ and have the officials keep gifting them additional opportunities.
I dont watch football media... but I'm guessing the end of the game and officiating was never taken to task or even mentioned. Just glossed over with a sea of LAC hype while ignoring the real reason why they won.

I can't recall the last time officiating was questioned in any meaningful way. Professional sports officials are the most protected, untouchable, group of people on the planet. If there is any review done of them (if......), it's done in such secrecy that the NSA and CIA should ask for their technique. Hell we're not even privvy to how they perform peer review. IF they perform peer review! When was the last time an NFL official was fired or given time off because they ****ed things up? You know, something more game-affecting than a Sharpie in the goalpost padding. When was the last time an official was fined for a bad call?
Sour grapes? Hell yeah! I'm still not over the calls when we lost to Pittsburgh.
