On a second and 10 midway through the fourth quarter from the Pittsburgh 18, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defense pulled off a well-timed, perfectly executed safety blitz with star Minkah Fitzpatrick, getting him a lane unimpeded to Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
Fitzpatrick was able to sack Garoppolo for a loss of six yards, putting the Raiders in what should have been a third and 16, potentially changing the game entirely and all but locking it up for the Steelers.
Yet, it all changed quickly as a flag came in late. Fitzpatrick was called for roughing the passer due to supposedly hitting Garoppolo in the helmet, wiping out the big sack and giving the Raiders a first down inside the 10-yard line.
