Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1:

Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 1: “The Commissioner has the sole authority to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary and/or corrective measures if any club action, non-participant interference, or calamity occurs in an NFL game which the Commissioner deems so extraordinarily unfair or outside the accepted tactics encountered in professional football that such action has a major effect on the result of the game.”
Even though Rams defensive back Nickell Robey-Coleman admits that he opted to wipe out Saints receiver Tommylee Lewis because Robey-Coleman believed he’d been beaten for a touchdown, it’s hard to imagine this being the kind of “extraordinarily unfair” act that would have a major effect on the outcome of the game. Then again, the rule is there for a reason; if ever it would be invoked, wouldn’t now be the time to do it?
And here’s where it gets even juicier. Consider Rule 17, Section 2, Article 3: “The Commissioner’s powers under this Section 2 include . . . the reversal of a game’s result or the rescheduling of a game, either from the beginning or from the point at which the extraordinary act occurred.”

Well obviously. It's a game, it's made by humans, it's rules are made up by humans out of thin air, it's played by humans and it's controlled by humans.
We can do whatever we want when it comes down to it. This isn't like trying to make the Earth rotate in the opposite direction. Rodger Goodell could decide tomorrow to come out and say that we made a mistake and the Saints are now your NFC Champions and will be playing in the Super Bowl. That would be final. That would be it. There wouldn't be anything anybody would be able to do about it just as sure as there's nothing anybody can do anything about the fact that the Saints arent going to be in the Super Bowl.
But he won't. Because he doesn't want to. So it's really just a matter of will.

It’s totally absurd that anyone would think this is a possibility
But it’s really interesting this is in the rule book

Well this certainly was a calamity if I ever saw one.

The league would never go to this extreme, admit they fricked up and employ completely incompetent or corrupt officials and vacate a league championship game.
