The turning point of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Green Bay Packers might have been an incomplete pass. Or a fumble. Depending on your perspective. And potentially your jersey.
On 2nd and 9 from the Steelers’ 16-yard line late in the second quarter, QB Kenny Pickett threw a swing pass to RB Jaylen Warren in the flat. The ball clipped off Warren’s hands and bounced away, recovered by the Packers. The question was: Did Pickett’s throw travel backwards or parallel, which would make it a lateral and fumble, or forward, which would make it incomplete?
Ruled incomplete on the field, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur challenged the call.
