Ineligible man downfield, five yard penalty, repeat the down.
A phrase now burned into the mind’s of Steelers’ fans. Pittsburgh has been called for a whopping five ineligible man downfield penalties this season and OL Coach Pat Meyer knows the Steelers are being watched every week.
Speaking to reporters yesterday, Meyer discussed the repeated penalties.
“Obviously we have a bullseye on our back with that,” Meyer said via Steelers.com. “We have to do something differently.”
Though one NFL assistant coach told me the league is cracking down on these type of penalties this year, there’s been no worse offender than the Steelers.
