A weekly series I’ll do that captures the forgotten and hidden plays that helped the Pittsburgh Steelers win—or lose. Not the touchdowns, turnovers, or plays that will make the Monday morning highlights—the little ones that, looking back, played a key role in the outcome. I’ll start with a hidden moment that helped the Steelers defeat the Cleveland Browns.
A wide receiver being called for offensive pass interference is a rarity. It has to be pretty obvious for the refs to throw it. So, getting two in one game is surprising. While Mike Williams’ came first and wiped out a big play, the Browns lost out on an even bigger chance because of OPI.
