Adeniyi On Questionable Roughing Penalty: ‘I Thought It Was A Clean Play’

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Olasunkanmi Adeniyi was flagged for a crucial and questionable roughing the passer penalty in the fourth quarter of the team’s home loss to the Baltimore Ravens. After the game was over, Adeniyi was asked to give his thoughts on his hit on Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson with 2:30 left in the fourth quarter that resulted in him being penalized 15 yards for roughing the passer.

“I thought it was a clean play but the ref called it like like they did and we just got to keep playing defense and just overcome it,” Adeniyi said.
