‘You Just Don’t Go There’: Former NFL Ref Gene Steratore Critical Of Offsides Call On Steelers’ FG Attempt

Late in the first half with the Pittsburgh Steelers trailing the Jacksonville Jaguars 9-3, veteran kicker Chris Boswell drilled what appeared to be a 56-yard field goal to send the two teams into the half wit the Steelers down 9-6 after a rough first half of play.

Instead, a flag was thrown by a member of Alan Eck’s crew, calling Steelers guard Isaac Seumalo — lined up at right guard on field goal protection — offsides, lining up in the neutral zone, negating the field goal for the Steelers.

That call had the Steelers rightfully irate as Boswell then missed the 61-yarder and had points taken off the board on a call that head coach Mike Tomlin stated he had never seen in his 17 years on the sideline.
