    They wouldn't have called it because they obviously didn't see it. If they saw it, they would have called it regardless of it being or not being a TD

    the clock runs out, because they did not drop the flag at the time. A moot point, but thanks for posting this pic.

    Saw it on the replay. Glad that it didn't become an issue.

    We lose. AB won that game with a phenomenal individual effort!

    That would be a very beautiful picture with the goal line in it.

    No we would have lost.

    I don't know how you can miss that facemask when all eyes had to be on the play and given the fact he held onto it for what seemed like 5 minutes. Unbelievable really. I think we would of been able to spike it with 1 or 2 seconds left.

    It's there any provision in the rules for calling a foul from a replay?

    It's impossible to miss. If you watch the replay, his helmet is torqued almost sideways.

    Honestly, I was too busy watching the awesomeness of the play to even recognize it. I'd have been really mad seeing it later if they lost.

    It was a terrible blown call by the officials and it might have cost the Steelers the game if not for Brown's stretch.

    Right, I was yelling at the tv before they played the replay that they must be mind if they missed it.

    I knew we would win but the whole grape jelly stain on my Antonio Brown jersey must had me worried. I guess it was the Raven's blood from the beating he gave them. LoL

    I don't see my thread about how to get the stain out. Anyone know how to get a grape jelly stain off at the white numbers fabric of a Steeler's jersey?

    Steeler's to the Superbowl. Go Steeler's.

    Agree, and we would have given us 15 on the kickoff.

    It's open season on AB's face mask these days.

    The ref is probably in the background like "move it along folks nothing to see here..."

    I saw it on about my 3rd time of watching it because I got so excited. Then I saw that they missed it and then I got mad. Then I realized it was a moot point. Then I got happy again. Now I realize they keep missing easy calls and am starting to get mad again thinking about how this could hurt us going forward. LOL!

    I have to wonder if Tomlin calling out the refs a month or so ago has anything to do with the fact that we have been on the wrong end of every call every since then. Today was terrible and not once did it go our way.

    I also went nuts when that facemask wasn't called. luckily the hands went up from the sideline judge. If not I think we run out of time and lose the game.

    The emotional part of my brain likes to think so but the refs have been lousy all year in almost every game I have watched.

    I guess the Raven grasping the face mask figured a half the distance penalty was better than giving up a TD. The logic was right but AB got the score anyway. LoL

    Do I need glasses because all I saw was AB being violently tackled by his face masked?? I'm tired of the refs cheating, we do it & it get called against us, we get it done to us & we can't get an obvious call?? Am I being a crybaby?? Was that not a personal foul?? Anyway I think we could've spiked the ball in time...
