Steelers Criticize Officiating After Controversial Loss to Colts

Players and commentators dispute key penalty on Minkah Fitzpatrick in Pittsburgh's narrow defeat.

The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to the Indianapolis Colts 27-24, suffering their first loss of the season.
A controversial unnecessary roughness penalty on safety Minkah Fitzpatrick late in the third quarter was a focal point of post-game criticism.
Fitzpatrick and fellow safety DeShon Elliott argued that the hit was legal and not malicious, questioning the officiating standards.
Former Steelers linebacker James Harrison and commentators also voiced their disagreement with the call, suggesting it impacted the game's outcome.
Despite the loss, the Steelers remain atop the AFC North with a 3-1 record and will face the Dallas Cowboys next week.
