Late in the third quarter of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, S Minkah Fitzpatrick was flagged for unnecessary roughness for supposedly hitting a defenseless A.D. Mitchell. Fitzpatrick looked like he tried to pull back and avoid the contact, but the officials flew the flag, which ended up leading to the Colts extending their lead to two scores later in the drive. Speaking to the media during his weekly press conference on Tuesday, Mike Tomlin said he thought the Steelers still had chances to win after the call, but added that he spoke to the league office and they disagreed with the call.
