No excuses for Ben and the Defense who made a 4th string QB with a handful of plays look good but why does the officiating always go to **** in Ratbirds stadium?
In the 2nd quarter when the Rats encroached before the snap and made contact with the O lineman, isn't that a free play? Refs blew the whistle, play dead. Brown's TD? So why was this not a catch a catch again? Wheats misses catch in the closing minute of the game, roll tape he was pushed off balance and fell. In 15 other NFL games on a Sunday that's pass interference.
The Rats defensive strategy for covering receivers hadn't really changed, they don't care about PI or holding calls as long as they don't give up a TD.
I wonder what happens to the Steelers when they go to Baltimore or how the coaches prepare them for these games. A 4th string QB for crissakes!
