Pitt/ Detroit…..,

What a wild ending!!! I need the call explained.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

The game had ended.... or something like that.
(offense also had a penalty)

 

[SteelCurtain74]

Under NFL rules, if the offensive penalty was the last play of the half or in this case game, it is not replayed if the penalty is accepted. At that point, the game was over.

 

[Willow Grove Dawg]

It was clearly Offensive Pass Interference on St Brown

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Love the ref pulling the rug out from under the fans. “However….”

 

[lazlow]

The ruling on the field is a Td...but you lose now go 17 yourself.

 

[FlotownDawg]

That ref channeled his inner Ed Hochuli for that over explanation. All he had to say was “pass interference, offense. The time is expired. The game is over.”

 

[Wesson Bulldog]

It wouldn't have mattered because it would have been an offensive penalty either way, but how can they call offensive pass interference when the ball is not in the air?

He pushed off to make himself open. Doesn’t matter if Goff hadn’t thrown the ball yet.

Yes.
He pushed off bigly, and it was very obvious. If they didn't call such things before the throw, WRs would be running around legally slapping DBs down and then being wide open.

Ok, I figured they could call illegal contact or something like that against the WR since the ball was still in the passer's hand. The game would be over either way.
