Former Lions WR Sees Echoes of Detroit’s Past in Late Flags vs. Steelers
The Steelers maintained a 103-0-1 record when leading by 12 entering the fourth quarter as an offensive pass-interference call erased the Lions’ final touchdown.
- On Dec 21, 2025 at Ford Field, an offensive pass‑interference call on Amon‑Ra St. Brown erased Jared Goff's last‑play touchdown and preserved a 29‑24 Pittsburgh Steelers win.
- Holding a historically safe margin under Mike Tomlin, the Steelers led 29-17 with five minutes remaining, but Detroit had multiple inside‑16 attempts after a missed field goal at 2:05.
- Officials explained the call after an extended huddle, saying Carl Cheffers called it "a pretty complex play" where officials ruled a backward pass, then applied NFL Rule 4, Section 8, Article 2 to negate the touchdown.
- The result left Pittsburgh Steelers alone atop the AFC North, boosting its division‑title odds to 78%, while Detroit Lions' playoff chances dropped to six percent per ESPN Analytics.
- Coach Dan Campbell reacted after the game, saying `We weren't able to close it out.
