NFL Head of Officiating confirms there was no foul on Steelers game-winning TD

Every time the Pittsburgh Steelers play the Cincinnati Bengals as of late, you can be sure of three things happening.

  1. Pittsburgh will win.
  2. Bengals fans will complain about a phantom penalty they believe cost them the game.

The Steelers Week 6 encounter with Cincinnati followed the script impeccably on Sunday, with the controversial penalty for Bengals fans coming on Pittsburgh 31-yard game winning pass to Antonio Brown with 10 seconds left to play. Inexplicably believing that Justin Hunter had run a pick play, many fans, and even certain members of the media seemed to ignore the Bengals defender initiating contact with the Steelers’ receiver on the snap of the ball.
