Hey remember when the Patriots were illegally calling out the snap count at the goal line?
Oooops, maybe big rape should spend some time with the rulebook.
Quote:
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger vigorously protested after left tackle Kelvin Beachum was called for a false start on third-and-goal from the Patriots’ 1-yard line – an infraction triggered by the New England line sliding during Roethlisberger’s snap count.
“I thought that there was a rule against that,” Roethlisberger told reporters. “Maybe there’s not. Maybe it’s just an unwritten rule. … We saw it on film, that the Patriots do that. They shift and slide and do stuff on the goal line, knowing that it’s an itchy trigger finger-type down there.”

Unwritten rule against the defense shifting? Looks like Coach Tomlin's excuse making is catchy.
