Yesterday is a new entry into this pantheon, but what are the others; Of the top of my head....

No Call - Saints-Rams 2019 NFC Championship Game
Game 6 Lakers-Kings 2002 Western Conference Finals (entire game)
Don Denkinger - KC-StL Game 6 1985 World Series
1972 Olympics US vs USSR basketball final

What else that directly impacted a championship. I though about the Colorado 5th down in 1990, but that was a mid-season game so it doesn't count in this context?

Edit: additions
2003 Fiesta Bowl (Miami-Ohio St) PI call on Glenn Sharpe - ok due to dispute removing this one

Which one? The missed pass interference or the missed facemask on Goff the series before

2009 NFC Championship game. No called roughing the passer on Brett Favre. Cost the GOAT another Super Bowl.

I know not many people watch soccer here, but in a Champions League SF, this Norwegian referee denied Chelsea 6 penalty appeals. Four of them were as blatant as that pass interference yesterday. To this day, it's the worst officiated match/game I've ever seen.

One of the best calls in the history of sports.

.

Wouldn't have happened if they didn't fall on their faces in regulation.

Armando Galarraga’s perfect game that was fricked over by a shite ump who needed to be the center of attention...I don’t care that the ump apologized later, the pitcher got royally fricked.

clip of block extra point

2016 broncos Saints. The refs missed the grab and pull on the snapper and missed the returner stepping out of bounds.

The refs that game are the same ones from last night....

2006 - Heat/Mavs (dwade 96 free throws)
2011 - Cards/Rangers (delaying game 6 by one day due to a weather system that never happened)

Yes I’m bitter

The fifth down game was the worst officiating blunder in the history of sports.

Meldrick Taylor / Chavez fight stopped with 2 seconds left is controversial.

Pippen phantom foul against the Knicks game 5 . Perhaps cost the Bulls an ECF/NBA Finals trip with Pete Myers replacing Jordan.

I am no Brett Favre fan, but the Saints repeatedly laid cheap shots on him in the 2009 NFCCG.

Roy Jones Jr in the Olympics and the "every game counts except when Bama loses" do over in 2011 need to be added to this list.
