Questionable False Start Called On LS Christian Kuntz In Crucial Moment

Another big spot, another awful penalty called on the special teams unit of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Trailing 21-18 and looking to draw the New England Patriots offsides, the Steelers’ punt team appeared to do just that as linebacker Jahlani Tavai jumped offsides on a fourth and three, moving the chains for the Steelers and keeping a crucial drive alive.

But then, officials called a false start on Steelers’ long snapper Christian Kuntz, making it fourth and eight, leading to a punt from Pressley Harvin III as the boos rained down at Acrisure Stadium.

Take a look for yourself.
