The New Orleans Saints are coming off one of the most heartbreaking losses in NFL history after a pass interference penalty against the Los Angeles Rams was not called at the end of the NFC Championship game. Sure, the call wasn't the sole reason why the Saints lost, but it definitely didn't do the Saints any favors. Now Super Bowl ticket prices are dropping, and Saints players Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas took to Twitter to throw their two cents in.

There's little doubt that the Saints' Super Bowl hopes were crushed after the officials failed to make the call that may have sent them to Atlanta to face the New England Patriots. Ticket prices may be affected by the call and how badly that it affects the league's identity. A blatant no call hurts the league and hurts the way viewers see officials. Also, seeing the Patriots in the Super Bowl for a third straight season isn't something a lot of people are exactly excited about, with Pats fans only being able to afford going to so many of these games.
The Saints and Rams battled in a tough game, and it's increasingly difficult to see the game end in this fashion. Ticket prices are likely this low due to circumstances from this past weekend and possibly because fans may think this could be a cake-walk for the Patriots. The Rams made it this far for a reason and the no-call against the Saints should not affect the fact that the Rams are a fantastic team.
