The Week 14 Ravens-Steelers game featured multiple mistakes by the officials. At the time, the NFL admitted one. Today, the league admitted another.<\/p>\n
The third was apparently admitted, until it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
For starters, the league admitted after the game that an unnecessary roughness penalty called on defensive tackle Travis Jones was not a foul<\/a>. On Tuesday, the NFL confirmed to PFT that the decision to use replay review to reverse a Ravens interception by linebacker Teddye Buchanan into a catch by Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was an error<\/a>.<\/p>\n Along the way, the league did \u2014 then didn\u2019t<\/a> \u2014 say that the controversial touchdown catch by Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely was incorrectly overturned to an incompletion. The NFL\u2019s official position continues to be that the decision was accurate. (We still believe it was a catch, with the replay process focusing on whether Likely took a third step and ignoring the other ways to complete the process<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Multiple Ravens players have noticed today\u2019s developments. Said quarterback Lamar Jackson on Twitter, \u201cSo technically we won? 10-7. 1st offseason win ever<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy had more to add.<\/p>\n \u201cHave we ever seen the NFL come out months after a game has been played (a couple weeks after the entire nfl season finished) and admitted they didn\u2019t get 1 huge crucial call in the biggest NFL rivalry game,\u201d Van Noy tweeted. \u201cBut they got 2 Crucial calls in same Game wrong!!! So the total was 3 horrible calls in 1 game<\/a>\u2026. That\u2019s insane! 1. INT Rodgers , 2. Likely touchdown , and 3. Travis Jones 15 yarder on field goal (they came out with this Tuesday after the game saying they got it wrong). Wow !!!! Accountability kinda sorta not really but something kinda\u2026 We need some sort of action now because this can not happen at the highest level. I understand 1 but 3????? Smh.\u201d<\/p>\n SMH indeed. The mistakes directly impacted the outcome of a key AFC North game, and may have directly impacted the division championship, with the Steelers and not the Ravens advancing to the postseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Week 14 Ravens-Steelers game featured multiple mistakes by the officials.
