Would the Saints have won the Super Bowl?

LOS ANGELES — Drew Brees was knocked out of the New Orleans Saints' NFC title game rematch against the Los Angeles Rams due to an injured hand. Brees did not return to the Saints' 27-9 loss to the Rams. The Saints quarterback was relieved by Teddy Bridgewater, who opened the team's third possession against the Rams.

UP NEXT: Following a loss to the Minnesota Vikings, the New Orleans Saints season comes to an end. The Saints won the NFC South for the third consecutive season, while finishing 13-3 back-to-back seasons.
The New Orleans Saints can't seem to find a break in the playoffs. For the third-consecutive season, and the second straight home playoff game, the Saints lost on the final play of the game. What made the 26-20 loss to Minnesota so gut wrenching on Sunday was how it happened at the end. Minnesota, the No.
The team was named "Saints" due to its birthday on the Roman Catholic Church's All Saints Day—a fitting nickname for a team in the largely Catholic New Orleans area. The name was announced on January 9, 1967. At the time, however, the Saints' three wins tied for the most ever for an expansion team's inaugural season.
Around the city, untold thousands of scalded Saints fans did the same. It wasn't just that their team had lost to the Rams in the NFC title game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, but it was how they lost, with officials missing a blatant pass interference by Rams cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman.
Here's how the NFL defines pass interference, according to the rulebook: It is pass interference by either team when any act by a player more than one yard beyond the line of scrimmage significantly hinders an eligible player's opportunity to catch the ball.
For a moment, it seemed, the Saints might get saved because of last year's misery. But that's not how things have gone in New Orleans the past few years. The call wasn't changed. And for the third straight year, the Saints were eliminated from the playoffs on the final play of the game.
Pass interference is called if the defensive player contacts the offensive player while he is trying to catch the pass, unless the defender has turned his head to face the oncoming pass and is attempting to intercept it. Accidental, glancing contact is not penalized.
Due to a heart condition, Bill Vinovich retired from field duty as an NFL official prior to the 2007 season, to serve as the replay official for Ed Hochuli. He was replaced as a referee by former side judge John Parry.
Because of the blatantly missed Pass Interference/Helmet-to-Helmet no call in the last minutes of the 4th quarter against the New Orleans Saints, which directly resulted in the Saints being eliminated from the Super Bowl, Bill Vinovich and his entire officiating crew should be fired for gross incompetence.
Prior to that game, Bill Vinovich's story once was cast as uplifting. He broke into the NFL officiating ranks in 2001 and six seasons later was forced off the field. Diagnosed with a heart condition in 2007, he moved into an supervisory role for the NFL.
