Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was involved in a controversial play during a game against the New York Giants, where George Pickens appeared to catch a touchdown pass, but it was ruled incomplete after review.
The confusion arose when Tomlin challenged the call, unaware that scoring plays are automatically reviewed and unchallengeable.
It was clarified later that the review process was an expedited booth review, not a replay assist, which led to the error in challenging.
This misunderstanding resulted in the Steelers being charged a timeout.
