I dont care either way; but that is no touchdown.

Happy for the Steelers; just a shame the game outcome was influenced by incorrect officiating. I don't see how at this level of play an official crew could make that many bad calls in a game (it went both ways). Not sour grapes; if the teams swapped jereys the Pitt fans would be saying something as well. Honest Pitt fans are even talking about it being bad calls.

Officials are getting worse in all sports. One reason I think is because they do not feel to urgency to make a sharp call as they always have the second-guessing crew in a replay booth. The quality is going down because they don't have to be as good anymore. Get rid of instant replay, challenges, etc and it will get better.

The ball was ABOVE the goal line before B.R. was pushed back and then landed.

TD ....... and there was another down anyhow.

These criers are just ignorant.

If the picture shows EXACTLY where the forward motion stopped, it was close - but not close enough.
