djp14150 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Green Bay Pittsburgh Green Bay lines up for a FG to tie... line up for a short one. close to an extra point attempt. FG is blocked. In the attempt of a recovery and run back the pittsburgh player appears to pick it up then laterals it to a teammate. The team mate did not have possession and bobbled it then intentionally knocked it out of bounds. the rulling by the officials was an intnetionally batted ball by Pittsburgh but Pittsburgh did not have posession so the penalty is against pittsburgh with Green Bay retaining posseion so half the distance and 1st down for Green Bay. Green Bay next play gets a TD for the lead, Officials claimed it was not reviewable. Tomlin was livid.

Optometric Insight Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Was it obvious that the first Pittsburgh player had possession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 What a weird call... I don't see why hitting the ball out of bounds (even if forward) should be called in the first place. But not only that, a Steelers player had possession and threw it back. And not only that, he might have actually been down by contact when he did it! Sure it'll be reviewed by the league, weird one.

Nitro Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) It looked like the guy had possession and a knee down when he tossed the ball to a team mate. Terrible call. Batted ball is the Raiders rule. You can not bat the ball forward to a team mate. Edited December 22, 2013 by Nitro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Was it obvious that the first Pittsburgh player had possession? In the replay, yes. I can easily see how it was missed live though. From most angles it looked to me like the player didn't even grab the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. WEO Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 My guess is that the Steelers will be awarded an extra draft pick.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
