Really wild ending. Didn't think that was OPI, btw.
I thought they were calling DPI live but whenever I saw the replay it was clearly a push off. There are some refs that won’t call that in that situation but if you have integrity then you are suppose to make the same call regardless of first play of the game or last play of the game. I thought they got it right.

Well, odd thing is...I cheer for the Steelers (dad's from Pittsburgh)....I thought it wouldn't be OPI because the ball wasn't in the air.

Lions fans are griping more about the touchdown taking away on the pick play.. they seem to forget that Pittsburgh had a touchdown taken away on same exact play earlier in the game...

OPI is ruled differently than DPI. It can be called even if the ball is still in the QB’s hand. The act of St. Brown engaging with the defender in that manner is considered illegal blocking downfield.
