That was so blatantly offensive pass interference that they ought to use film of it when training officials the types of things they should be flagging os offensive pass interference.

Blatant? Only a fellow Steelers fan trying to wash the taint off this victory would agree with you.

Yes, blatant. He clearly put a hand in the chest of the defender and used that to create separation. That is, by definition, offensive pass interference. Doing it in the end zone and right in front of the ref just made it all the easier to call.

Oh, and by the way, had it been called against my team, I would have grumbled for about 5 seconds, admitted it was the right call, and gotten on with life -- I've done so on many a call over the years, so I'm not "just saying that". I certainly wouldn't be whining about it three days later.
