That was a close, close call. Could have gone either way, I think. I'm not going to second guess the officials and the replay on this one.

I think he is referring to the TD that Seattle made that was called back due to an offensive interference call. The Seahawk "pushed off" of the Steeler defender. Personally I thought it was lame. It's like calling "holding"- you can say that about nearly every play. I also thought Ben R was not in the endzone on that TD either. I am not a fan of either team, BTW. The game was unsatisfying, IMHO.

"The Seahawk receiver obtained an advantage by pushing off the Steeler defender. Penalty. You have to create your OWN separation, you cannot use a player to establish it. If he had NOT pushed off...he may not have gotten to that pass."

And you don't do it in the endzone right in front of the zebra.
