Steelers Fans in disbelief over wild end to Week 16 Lions clash

The Pittsburgh Steelers escaped Ford Field with a 29-24 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 16, but the final score doesn’t even begin to tell the story. In a game that featured multiple negated touchdowns and a chaotic finish, Steelers fans are still catching their breath after witnessing one of the wildest endings in recent memory.

With no time left on the clock, Lions quarterback Jared Goff appeared to save Detroit’s season. After completing a pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown short of the goal line, the star receiver lateraled the ball back to Goff, who dove into the end zone for what looked like the game-winning score. Bedlam ensued, but yellow laundry on the field quickly silenced the Honolulu Blue faithful.

Officials flagged St. Brown for offensive pass interference, wiping out the miracle play and sealing the win for Pittsburgh. Social media immediately erupted.

“Definitely OPI. They called the same thing on the Steelers. And take a look at the disparity in number of penalties. Back to reality Detroit!” one fan posted, highlighting the polarized reaction to the officiating.
