Uncalled Offsides A ‘Big Momentum Turn,’ Aaron Rodgers Says

On the Pittsburgh Steelers’ first drive of the second half, leading 16-7, Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers threw an incompletion on 3rd-and-8. But it was clear that the officiating crew, led by referee Shawn Hochuli, missed an offside penalty.

Rodgers was looking for a call after the play, and the officials briefly huddled but didn’t throw a flag. The Steelers were forced to punt. Green Bay then connected on a 59-yard explosive pass to TE Tucker Kraft on third down that set up an eventual touchdown to cut the lead to 16-14. From there, the Packers went on to outscore Pittsburgh 21-11 in their 35-25 win.
