Eye doctors offer free exams to NFL refs after blown call in Saints-Rams game

January 24, 2019

Eye doctors in at least two states have a message for NFL referees: Get your eyes checked. The tongue-in-cheek warning comes after the controversial NFC Championship game on Sunday, in which the Rams beat the Saints.

According to CBS Los Angeles, Louisiana Family Eyecare in Covington, Louisiana, clearly took the Saints’ loss personally. The office said it is offering free eye exams to league officials before next season. A second vision center in College Station, Texas, is also offering free exams for NFL referees.

These comical offers come after a blown call in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game. With 1:49 left to play in a 20-20 game, Saints quarterback Drew Brees threw a pass to Tommylee Lewis. The Rams Nickell Robey-Coleman tackled Lewis well before the arrival of the ball, CBS Sports reports.

Much to Louisiana Family Eyecare’s, and every other Saints fan’s dismay, the Rams will face the Patriots in the Super Bowl, which airs February 3 on CBS.
