With Green Bay up four points and 20 seconds to go in the first half, Packers kicker Mason Crosby had his 31-yard field goal attempt blocked by Minkah Fitzpatrick and returned 75 yards for a touchdown. A potential seven-point Packers halftime lead would have flipped in the Steelers’ favor. But that momentum-swinging touchdown was called back due to an offsides penalty on Joe Haden.
The problem: It sure looked like the officials missed the call.
Screwed the Steelers and didn’t call ■■■■ on GB… this crew will have the Super Bowl this year, guaranteed.
Unless the player was lined up in the neutral zone, it wasn’t off sides. And the refs didn’t say it was a neutral zone infraction. Anyone watching can see that the players moved when the ball moved.
The refs should not be throwing flags on assumptions. Just another trash call to add to the list. Oh, and, I’m a Cowboys fan.
Najee elbowed in the head with a flying elbow from the Chargers… getting evaluated for a concussion. Flag on the play? Of course not. It was a Steeler. Heyward took too long to get up after tackling the quarterback after being pushed back on him and he gets flagged.
Nothing will happen to the Charger who threw the elbow either. Guaranteed.
If a Steeler had done that he’d be out of the game.
It’s just good to know that play isn’t a penalty. Steelers should be able to throw flying elbows at their opponents from now on, right? Since nothing happened as a result of this.
