Robey-Coleman was not called for pass interference when he should have been late in the fourth quarter of the Rams’ win over the New Orleans Saints.
The NFL admitted there should have been a foul called on the play, which ultimately forced New Orleans to kick a field goal. The Rams went on to tie the game and won it in overtime after the Saints turned the ball over on their first possession of the extra period.
“I mean, it wasn’t anything that I really paid attention to,” he said, via ESPN.
“I think it was just a fake page that was online by somebody that was probably bitter and didn’t like the call and they said something on Facebook or Instagram or something. But I ignored them and moved on.”
Robey-Coleman called the threats “weird”, but said he was never nervous about his or his family’s safety.
“I didn’t worry about it that much,” he said. “Being in L.A., I’m pretty safe. I know my whereabouts and I feel like if I’m in a situation where I feel threatened or feel endangered, I’ll tell the organisation.”
Bears kicker Cody Parkey also said he received death threats after he missed the potentially game-winning field goal in Chicago’s wild-card round loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Rams will play the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday.
