NEW ORLEANS - It was a key play toward the end of the Saints-49ers game - one that is sparking plenty of controversy.
49ers Linebacker Ahmad Brooks blasted Saints Quarterback Drew Brees, who fumbled. The Niners recovered, but referees flagged Brooks for "contact to the neck."
Fifteen-yard penalty, first down Saints.
The Black and Gold went on to win the game, thanks to a 31-yard field goal by Garrett Hartley.
Monday, however, debate over the call continued.
"It looked bad," said Saints Wide Receiver Lance Moore.
