Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars included a series of ridiculous pieces of officiating, none of which worked in the favor of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Perhaps the most egregious was an offside call on guard Isaac Seumalo where the officials said he was lined up illegally on a 55-yard field goal try that kicker Chris Boswell made. The officials backed the Steelers up five yards and he missed the next attempt.
After the game, Boswell took to Instagram to share the pics below. They not only illustrate that Seumalo was not offside, but it looks more like a Jaguars player was offside instead.

After the game, head coach Mike Tomlin said in 17 years he had never seen that call and you could see on the sideline he was livid when the call was announced.
This play was a huge momentum turnaround in the Jaguars’ favor and almost certainly had an impact on the outcome of the game.
