Mike Tomlin, Ben Roethlisberger question discrepancy in officiating

PITTSBURGH -- The NFL said its officials wrongly flagged Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett for roughing the passer, but the Pittsburgh Steelers would like to see such transparency on another call that affected Sunday's overtime tie.

Officials reviewed but failed to grant the Steelers a punt recovery in the fourth quarter despite the ball ricocheting off Browns running back Nick Chubb's helmet while covering Pittsburgh's punt. Safety Sean Davis recovered the ball but, despite coach Mike Tomlin's challenge, officials deemed Davis simply downed it.
