Ryan Switzer admits he did not know the rules regarding free kicks after a safety

Ryan Switzer has been something of a revelation as a return man for the Pittsburgh Steelers since arriving via trade before the start of the season, but he had fans out of their seats for all the wrong reasons on Sunday afternoon with a catastrophic error midway through the third quarter.

With Pittsburgh set up to receive a free kick after recording a safety, confusion between Switzer and Roosevelt Nix led to a huge mistake that saw the Browns recover the ball at the Steelers 25-yard line.

Steelers inexplicably fail to field a free kick and let the Browns have it.
