Officials make mistakes—a lot. But, there are some blunders that stand out above the rest as the biggest officiating disasters in NFL history.

The controversial Tuck Rule play involving Tom Brady in 2002 is a prime example of a ruling that benefited him but enraged football fans.
The Saints No Call in the 2019 NFC Championship game, with a helmet-to-helmet hit going unnoticed by officials, is widely regarded as one of the most catastrophic ruling in NFL history.
