Refs made sure that didn't happen.

Through what lens could you have watched that game last night and thought the refs were the deciding factor?

5 for 47 and 6 for 65 penalties for both teams (Packers and Steelers respectively).

Green Bay came out after halftime and dominated on both sides of the ball. It wasn’t any more complicated than that.

An awful, awful, awful missed offsides and a blatant missed OPI changed the game. Packers dominated after that, kudos to them. But if the refs correctly call those one of those plays (especially the OPI), it goes down to the final 2 minutes.

I remember the missed offsides and yes it should’ve been called but what OPI?

Still not sure a couple penalties make up for what Jordan and the defense did in the second half. We were up 16 with under 3 minutes to go and the Steelers could barely get a first down until the garbage time TD.

Tucker Kraft blatantly pushed Elliot on the 60 yard catch on that pumpkin Love threw. If it's called (which Collinsworth mentioned on the broadcast), it's 3rd and 15.

I remember that play. Disagree with you on that one though. There was some contact but not enough for OPI in my opinion. Just a smart play by a receiver that happens in pretty much every game played these days. Brazzel did the same thing on Saturday night on one of his bombs.
