Sunday afternoon a pair of 2-11 teams hit the gridiron in St Louis. The Seattle Seahawks came to town to take on the Rams. The Seahawks came away with a 23-20 victory as they look to beef up the intensity as they head into their final few games with coach Mike Holmgren at the helm.

What seems to be lost in the hype involving some of the other big games this weekend is that Pro-Bowl receiver Torry Holt has claimed that the referee use the score board monitor to make a call in the third quarter.

According to Holt when he pled his case to the ref about a pass-interference call, the referee told him that he looked up in the Jumbotron and saw that he pushed off.

"That was his explanation," said Holt. "I told him it was a bad call."

As
St Louis led 17-13 with 4:40 to go in the third quarter, the Rams took over the ball on their own 20 and moved to Seattle's 46 yard line. Marc Bulger then threw a strike down the right sideline that Holt caught at the 26 against cornerback Marcus Trufant.

The play was brought back moving the Rams back to their own 44. St Louis pushed the ball into Seattle territory and settled for a field goal on the drive.

"That is a young guy over there, a rookie referee," said Rams coach Jim Haslett. "I am not sure what he saw, but obviously he thought it was pass interference, and we have to live with it. If that is what he called then that is what he called."

It seems like if this happened in the Raven-Steelers game or another game with playoff implication, this story would be all over the news.
