Just like an overwhelming majority of penalties, offsides is not a reviewable foul in the NFL. But the Pittsburgh Steelers would probably like that to change after Sunday’s Week 4 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
With Green Bay up four points and 20 seconds to go in the first half, Packers kicker Mason Crosby had his 31-yard field goal attempt blocked by Minkah Fitzpatrick and returned 75 yards for a touchdown. A potential seven-point Packers halftime lead would have flipped in the Steelers’ favor. But that momentum-swinging touchdown was called back due to an offsides penalty on Joe Haden.
The problem: It sure looked like the officials missed the call.
