Aaron Rodgers expressed his frustration following a game-ending play where he believed a crucial pass interference call was missed. The final throw intended for Marquez Valdes-Scantling came on a fourth down attempt against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
In the decisive moment, Valdes-Scantling seemed to have his left arm restricted by Denzel Ward, which hindered his ability to effectively contest for the ball. After the match, Rodgers did not shy away from voicing his opinion, stating, “Definitely interference.” Valdes-Scantling also echoed this sentiment, admitting that while he felt there should have been a call, the team should not have put themselves in that position to rely on a referee”s decision.
Ward appeared to dismiss the Steelers” strategy post-game, questioning the decision to target him on three consecutive plays as the game drew to a close. Regardless of the officiating controversy, the Steelers” offense struggled significantly throughout the game, contributing to their disappointing 13-6 loss.
This defeat sets up a critical matchup against the Baltimore Ravens next week, where the winner will claim the AFC North title and secure a playoff spot. The Steelers” performance against the Cleveland Browns has left fans recalling similar frustrating moments from previous seasons.
