The Pittsburgh Steelers are fighting for their playoff lives against the Saints today but unfortunately it seems that they’re going up against the refs as well.
During Sunday afternoon’s Steelers-Saints game, the Saints were gifted a touchdown after Joe Haden was called for a bogus pass interference on a deep pass while covering Alvin Kamara.

The Internet was livid with the call that may eventually cost the Steelers a chance at the postseason.
Worst pass interference call I've seen all year, on Joe Haden, giving the Saints a gift TD.

Terrible pass interference call, that ref should be fired after this game

That's a horrendous pass interference call on Haden. Especially considering the positioning of the guy who threw the flag. He was right there. #DKPS #Steelers

I’m sorry, but if you’re giving the QB credit for downfield YOLO balls that turn into pass interference, you’re doing QB evaluation wrong

"I may never have seen less of a pass interference play in my life." -Jim Nantz on the CBS broadcast.
And he's not wrong. Haden barely able to reach the receiver, never mind interfere.#Saints turn it into a TD.
