NFL Twitter Erupts After Officiating Crew Try To Favor Tennessee Titans Against Pittsburgh Steelers
Follow Us
Tennessee Titans visited Heinz Field Sunday to face the Pittsburgh Steelers for their Week 15 matchup. The game ended with a 19-13 score in the favor of the Steelers. The game was crucial for the Steelers to win since any loss for them would simply result in elimination from the playoffs race.
Although at one point late in the game, it looked as if that hope will be diminished, because of incompetent officiating. Late in the fourth quarter of the game when the timer had just seconds to go, QB Ryan Tannehill tossed the ball over to Nick Westbrook, who fell a few inches short to make the first down.

Refs favoring Tennessee Titans against the Steelers
Although it seemed as if the referees tried to turn the game other way round. But it was because of the benefit of instant replay the Steelers tasted the sweet poetic justice in the nick of time. Even the Titans head coach Mike Vrabel called out for a replay which didn’t go in his favor.
However, it was very much clear as to whose play it was and any incorrect decision by the refs would have erupted the Heinz Field. People on Twitter who couldn’t unsee how much the Titans were being favored by the officials gave the same reaction. Even Kansas City Chiefs star running back Darrel Williams reacted to it, accusing the refs of “tryna cheat for the titans.”

In the end, it was the Steelers who emerged with a much-needed victory for them to stay alive in the league. And now they currently secure the bottom-most spot in the very competitive AFC North table with a 7-6-1 record so far this season. The 8-6 Cincinnati Bengals currently lead the league. The 8-6 Ravens and 7-6 Browns follow them.
The refs in the Titans/Steelers game messed up that final spot and measurement so badly they ended up getting it right. pic.twitter.com/lENjaAhPjm
