Saints fans are whining for no good reason. Most of the commentators and media are saying it was the right call. I.e. no OPI.For Saints - Viking games, apparently the it should have been OPI.

I can't believe they would screw the saints a 2nd time. Another black eye for the NFL. I can't believe it wasn't reviewed at least.

Anyway, at the end of the day, Vikings were the better team and deserved the win. Saints head coach said it himself:For the second year in a row, the New Orleans Saints were knocked out of the playoffs due to a controversial pass interference no-call, and although the team eventually received an apology from the NFL for what happened last season against the Rams, there will be no such apology this year, and that's because the league believes the officiating crew got the call right on the final play of game in the Saints shocking 26-20 overtime loss to the Vikings.

After the game, Payton dismissed a question about whether he thought OPI should have been called on Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph for pushing off on the game-winning score.
Rather than complain about the call, Payton noted his team was outplayed by the Vikings.
