Pittsburgh Secures Controversial Win Over Bears; Late Call Costs Chicago

The Pittsburgh Steelers edged out the Chicago Bears in a thrilling encounter at the Heinz Field, winning 29-27 to secure a fourth straight win. However, an incident late in the game has become a real talking point, and one that many feel cost the Bears dearly.

The Steelers were leading 23-20, with the Bears having fought back (despite a number of erroneous calls), to set up a frantic finish. Having secured a third-down sack on Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger, outside linebacker Cassius Marsh was penalized for taunting and then was clearly hip-checked by referee Tony Corrente who then flagged Marsh.
