NEW ORLEANS — As everyone is still talking about Sunday's no-call, someone actually played it out on in a video game and got some not-so-shocking results.

The producers on the YouTube channel TPS created the disputed play on Madden 2019, the National Football League's official video game for the league.

The results: Not so shocking.

Even when TPS changed the game's settings to turn the "pass interference slider" down to a minimum, making the A.I. less likely to call a foul, the virtual referees still threw a flag for the hit.

Former Saint Reggie Bush shared the video, saying "Madden refs better than real life."
