Refs Prove To Be Disaster During Steelers Game, Miss Multiple Key Calls

Coming into Sunday night’s matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Green Bay Packers, there was some concern with the fact that Shawn Hochuli’s crew was set to oversee the big-time matchup on the North Shore.

After struggling with penalties in Week 7 and wanting to play a cleaner brand of football, the Steelers knew they were in for one with Hochuli’s crew, which came into Sunday night having thrown the fourth-most flags through the first seven weeks of the season.

Then, in the blink of an eye in the third quarter, Hochuli’s crew decided not to throw flags for clear penalties, and it led to the game changing quickly.
