Defensive player pushed the offensive player first on that offensive pass interference which negated the TD. Offensive player's push was a minor push back, the kind they just about never call especially if the defensive player has made contact first.

Then there were two or three holding penalties that killed drives and a pass to the 1.

Alexander was just getting started running.

You also have that Steeler defensive player who was going offsides on blitzes yet never got called for it.

The illegal block call on one of Warrick's returns looked like an awful call too.

Alexander was just getting started running well and one of the holding penalties killed that drive. Replays on these two holding penalties I mention showed it wasn't hoilding.

The initial contact they both hit each other. The second contact kept the defender from changing his direction such that he could have made a play, that's what drew the flag.

I think Seattle ate a total of 3 holding calls, all of which were huge since they got them out of the red zone. But the head ref for the game is well known to be extremely tight on holding calls.

The illegal block call almost exactly matched two illegal block call the Steelers ate during the regular season. While I don't agree with any of the three calls at least they applied it consistently.

Every replay on a holding call I saw showed a hold, and more importantly a hold that altered the play. The big one where they threw to the one the defender was hauled down by one hand and almost got to Matt anyway, if the lineman doesn't hold on that play it's a sack not a completion to the 1, they have to call that.
