‘He Ran Into Me:’ Van Jefferson Frustrated By Questionable OPI Call

It looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers were about to take a 14-0 lead into the half after a 5-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Justin Fields to wide receiver George Pickens, but as was a common occurrence Sunday in the Mile High City, yellow laundry dotted the playing surface, a flag on WR Van Jefferson.

That’s not to be confused with some of the gold that the Steelers were wearing Sunday on Empower Field in Mile High.

Instead, it was a penalty flag, this time on Steelers’ wide receiver Van Jefferson for offensive pass interference on former Pittsburgh cornerback Levi Wallace, negating Pickens’ touchdown.
