There was some confusion late in the fourth quarter after the Cleveland Browns failed to convert a 3rd and 2, and the team was called for illegal touching. The Steelers opted to accept the penalty instead of forcing the Browns’ to go for it on fourth down trailing 19-18, and Cleveland converted on 3rd and 7 for a first down on a completion to WR Jerry Jeudy. While there was some confusion as to whether or not the Steelers accepted or declined the penalty initially, DL Cameron Heyward also thought that he was held on the play, which would’ve been a 10-yard penalty instead of a five-yard penalty.
