Yep, that call kills the Broncos. Steelers always getting breaks from the refs.

Agreed. I don't get how we still let bad calls stand because of technicalities on what is reviewable, etc.

Time for a clogged up 2 yard loss and then a holding call.

Kick FG please.

Ref blew an INC pass on a pretty obvious lateral

Steelers should thank the refs for not knowing the rules. A clear recovery overrides a whistle. Hoculli rule, I believe.

How did they not know the rules? It was a bang bang play that they thought was an incomplete pass.


Blown call, yes. Not knowing the rules, don't think so

they should know not to blow the whistle...they make the ruling after it is played out. The call completely changed the complexion of the game. It is over if that was called correctly from the beginning. This type of shit is why the NFL and its rules/enforcement of the rules is a complete joke.

That's not knowing a rule! It wasn't that obvious when you are the line judge and it's in game speed.
