In the second quarter, a play involving a pass from Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett to running back Jaylen Warren was initially ruled an incomplete pass. However, Packers defender Rashan Gary scooped up the ball and scored, believing it was a backward lateral.
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur challenged the ruling, arguing for a fumble due to a lateral pass, but officials overturned the call, maintaining the incomplete pass decision. Packers fans argue that the replay indicates a rigged decision in favor of the Steelers, as they believe it was a clear lateral and fumble. The disputed call potentially cost the Packers the game, leading to a 23-19 victory for the Steelers. Fans on social media expressed frustration, with some questioning the integrity of NFL officiating.
