Of the many officiating controversies in the Steelers’ loss to the Eagles, one stands out as a glaring error. Inexplicably, the NFL failed to penalize the Eagles after a scrum in which at least two Philadelphia players threw punches. The officials managed to flag multiple Steelers players, but none against the Eagles to offset.
Former NFL official Gene Steratore talked about that sequence and seemed to refute the league’s explanation. In a pool report, the head official insisted the NFL saw no evidence of punches by the Eagles. But Steratore insisted, while discussing the Steelers-Eagles game, that “They have access to all the angles”.
