The ref in the Steelers-Eagles game left fans scratching their heads.
During a Steelers field goal attempt, Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham was flagged for delay of game.
While announcing the call, the ref said Graham made “a move, not that’s not necessary and unlike football.”
Not sure what happened on Brandon Graham delay of game penalty. Didn't see a replay or explanation except that infraction, per head ref, was unnecessary and not like football.
Graham's mistake brought the Steelers offense back on the field for a successful 4th down TD.

Apparently, Graham was yelling out fake cadences to try to get the Steelers to go offside.
"delay of game, number 55, making a move that's not necessary and unlike football"

Just saw TV replay and it was apparently Brandon Graham's fake that drew a Steelers player to jump. https://t.co/dsVFYP4LkM
