Roughing the passer penalties have drawn the ire of many NFL fans as the league has emphasized the call in recent years. Like every other team, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been impacted by questionable calls that didn’t go their way. Cam Heyward and T.J. Watt in particular have been robbed of chances to increase their sack totals.
During this year’s competition committee, one NFL team has proposed a rule change that would make roughing the passer reviewable via replay. However, per NFL.com’s Judy Battista, it doesn’t seem likely to pass.
