DHB Says Penalties Against Him On MNF Shouldn’t Have Happened

With 3:21 remaining in the fourth quarter of the Monday night game and the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers leading the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 30-27 and facing a 4th and 9, punter Jordan Berry delivered a nice boot of the football that ultimately was downed by cornerback Cameron Sutton at the opponent’s one-yard-line. That seemingly great punt and subsequent downing of the football would not stand, however, as an illegal shift penalty called on wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey wiped it out.

“Illegal shift, offense, number 88 was not set,” referee Pete Morelli informed the crowd and television viewing audience.
