Just when it looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers were going to get off the field one drive after allowing a 35-yard touchdown to Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy, a roughing-the-passer penalty negated a third-down stop, giving the Browns new life.
That flag was rather controversial as Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith appeared to let up on the play and tried to avoid making contact on Browns QB Jameis Winston.
Officials saw it differently and threw the flag, allowing the Browns to turn a 3rd and 6 at the Cleveland 41-yard line into a 1st and 10 at the Steelers’ 44-yard line.
