Los Angeles Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman was involved in one of the most controversial no-calls in the history of the NFL during the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, when he clearly hit New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tommylee Lewis before Lewis had a chance to catch a pass thrown by Drew Brees late in the fourth quarter. However, pass interference was not called.

Not only that, but Robey-Coleman should have also been penalized with a helmet-to-helmet hit. That wasn't called either.

Both non-calls clearly had an effect on the outcome of the game, as the Saints had to settle for a field goal to take a 23-20 lead, only to see the Rams come back and tie the game at 23 before Los Angeles won the contest in overtime.

Now, nearly a week later, Robey-Coleman has been fined $26,739 for the hit, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

This obviously does nothing to soothe New Orleans' wounds, and if anything, it will likely make Saints players and fans angrier, as it is essentially an admission by the NFL that a call was missed.

The league has yet to make any sort of statement on the lack of the pass interference call, and it remains to be seen if the NFL will take any sort of action to guard against such controversies in the future.

Nevertheless, the Saints were sent home in devastating fashion for the second straight year, while the Rams will be moving on to face the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl on Feb. 3.
