Milwaukee is at Toronto
The Rams and the Patriots continue to get ready for Super Bowl 53 Sunday in Atlanta. Both teams are relatively healthy going in. Yesterday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell addressed the media about the officiating in the NFC Championship game when the referees blew an obvious pass interference call in the closing minutes against the Rams which more than likely would have led to a Saints win.. He said the game is coached by humans, played by humans and officiated by humans. He said mistakes happen but the issue of replay would be addressed in the off-season.
