The Pittsburgh Steelers had a blocked field goal on Sunday in their 37-15 win over the New York Jets, and they should’ve also had a blocked extra point after New York’s second touchdown of the game. Minkah Fitzpatrick was flagged for leverage, a call that seemed like the wrong one in the moment, and Mike Tomlin confirmed he talked to the NFL league office and was told that the play was legal.
“I did talk to New York, and they did tell me Minkah’s block was legal, which I knew in-stadium. But that’s life. None of us are perfect, there’s gonna be mistakes made in-game, there’s strategic mistakes made by me, there’s mistakes made by players, and there’s officiating mistakes.
