    I was at the game so no replay, it looked like the Steelers WR was knocked out of bounds 2 yds short of the sideline marker, but then on measurement got the 1st down. What did the TV broadcast show/say?

    You talking about where Cromartie pushed the guy out of bounds ?

    If so he was knocked out about a yard and change behind the marker, but definitely got the first down due to forward progress

    There was some bizarre measuring going on, a couple of times they brought out the chains for spots that were so clearly short that it seemed pointless. I can only assume that someone forgot to bring the patented Pittsburgh 9 yard chains.

    It does take time to figure out the correct chains in the heat of the moment. If you notice they finally went to an easy system. The Yellow chain were 9 yards and the green ones were 10.

    ^^^
    ..is what happened.




    Steeler made the catch at the first down marker......then was pushed back and out of bounds by Cromartie.


    Plenty of sh*tty calls from this game to harp about........but they did in fact get this one right.
