NFL Officials Under Fire for Missing Eagles' Punches in Steelers Clash

Controversial officiating decisions overlooked clear punches by Eagles players during a heated first-quarter skirmish against the Steelers.

  • Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay was caught on video punching Steelers tight end Darnell Washington during a first-quarter altercation.
  • Despite video evidence, game officials and replay review failed to penalize Slay or any other Eagles players involved in the incident.
  • Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin expressed frustration with the officiating, calling the explanation he received 'not sufficient.'
  • The penalties on the Steelers pushed them back from the Eagles' 4-yard line, altering the drive and potentially affecting the early momentum of the game.
  • The Eagles went on to dominate the game statistically, winning 27-13, though the officiating controversy remains a major talking point.
