Steelers Bears Game Thread

The half can't end on a defensive penalty but how did the Bears get another shot after an offensive penalty. Should have been the end of the half.
 
What was it?

Since it was an illegally batted ball, it’s placed on the yard line that it was fumbled. I thought that the ball comes out to the 20 yard line no matter what on a touchback.

I'm starting to think that maybe this team doesn't prepare and focus well for under-performing teams on the road.
 
Illgally batting the ball? What?
 
I'm trying to comprehend.....Bears have possession and fumble. Ball goes thru the endzone, Steelers never gain possession. I always thought defensive team takes over at the 20.

Tomlin got lucky the refs held up play for the defense to come back out. They should not have. As soon as call was made, the should have spotted the ball and let the bears run it in uncontested.

Idiotic that Tomlin let his team leave the field.
 
What was it?

Dumbass Bears player stops running, McDonald knocked ball out at the 1, ball rolls into endzone, scramble to try and recover, and kicker bats the ball through the back of the endzone. He should have simply gathered the ball but panicked and swatted it through the endzone.

The ruling is that the Steelers were on defense at the team, and batting the ball is a penalty, untimed down, after penalty put the ball on the half yard line.

Steelers were in the locker room, had to be summoned back to the field. False start Bears, they kick FG.
 
We might have the worst division in football.

Instead of 2 on a safety, the bears get 3 on a fg. Talk about home field advantage!
 
At this point, just play to not get anyone hurt. Steelers are 1-12 at Chicago.
 
Steelers better come out 2nd half with their hair on fire. That was about as frustrating of a first half as I can remember. Let's go Steelers!

Why are Steelers fans not used to this? A very talented Steelers team sleepwalking against a ****** opponent.

They would have except the steelers illegally batted the ball. If the ball went out on its own, its steelers ball.
 
Berry had no choice. There were 5 Bears all around the ball. If he didn't swipe it, it would have been a TD.

I though that the person that fumble the ball has to recover it in that last 2:00 minutes.
 
Because the half can't end on a defensive penalty. the Bears had possession and the Steelers committed the foul by batted the ball out of the endzone
I got that, but to get it at the half yard line? If berry just lays on it it's a touch back, seems a severe penalty for batting the ball

Darn playing down ability of this team is unfortunately the best in the league over the last 10 years
 
This is a typical NFL game. You're seeing it all over the league today. Frustrating

OK, but the Bears had an illegal motion penalty on offense on an untimed play - how did they get another shot?

Officials announced the end of the half.
