Former top referee thinks NFL messed up review of pass in Packers vs. Steelers

Former NFL VP of officiating Dean Blandino believes strongly that officials should have reversed the ruling of a forward pass thrown by Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett in the second quarter of Sunday’s win over the Green Bay Packers and replay should have given the Packers the ball inside the 5-yard line.

The play — a throw from Pickett to running back Jaylen Warren in the right flat — was ruled an incomplete pass. Packers coach Matt LaFleur challenged, but the ruling on the field stood.

“I was surprised that the ruling on the field stood,” Blandino said in a video at The 33rd Team.
