The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense was lifeless all Monday night against the Houston Texans. But halfway through the third quarter, it did have a chance to grab some momentum back. The Steelers were down just 7-6 and faced a 3rd and 12. Calvin Austin III beat his man by a step, and Aaron Rodgers launched the ball down the seam.
There was some contact, Austin fell down, and the ball landed a few yards in front of him. Everyone at Acrisure Stadium looked at the officials, and plenty protested, but no flag came. According to former NFL official, and current CBS analyst Gene Steratore, the decision not to throw a flag was the right call.
