One of the biggest moments of the Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers was Pete Carroll successfully challenging that Tyler Lockett was interfered with on a 2nd and 20 play deep down the field. What also happened on that play that should’ve given the Seahawks an automatic first down was a very obvious yet somehow not flagged helmet to helmet shot by Bud Dupree on Russell Wilson.
Obviously a 15-yard penalty compared to 38 yards means quite a bit, but perhaps Carroll would’ve never challenged the DPI had the refs done their job and flagged the Dupree hit right away.
