Pittsburgh v. Tennessee
Tennessee throws a pass into the end zone, receiver is blanketed by two Steelers defenders in what appears to be pass interference. The pass was incomplete. Flag.
Flag picked up.
Big discussion on the sideline between officials and Jeff Fisher and Phil Simms tries to figure out why there wasn't pass interference called.
The conjecture in the booth is that the ball was tipped in flight and that is why the flag was picked up...so, when they show a very slo-mo replay, it appears nobody actually does touch the ball until,
Simms: "The receiver tipped it. That is why they can pick up the flag."
WTF???!
The "mute'' button is now my friend.
By the way...nobody gets more officiating love than the Pittsburgh Steelers......nobody......not even close.
