When did the NFL change the rules and eliminate pass interference as a penalty?

It was a one and done for the Pitt/Clev game I heard. Let the players play.

only against the Steelers

Browns defensive backfield was incredibly physical. Definitely some calls that could've been made. Either way, I was also impressed with their ball skills. Very talented players in that secondary and that's probably part of the reason they get away with so much.

So if you are a good DB, you can tackle Diontae Johnson and Pat Friermuth and not get called?

Huh. If they're so good, why do you need help to get away with penalties?

Yep, happens all of the time. It's the same reason you can see veteran wide receivers push off and not get the call while rookies do get the flag.
