The Atlanta Falcons went into halftime with a 10-9 lead over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. The Steelers could have held on to the lead, but the referees made an incorrect call against TJ Watt that negated a drive-ending strip sack late in the second quarter.

On first-and-10 from the 17-yard line with less than a minute left in the quarter, TJ Watt seemed to time the snap perfectly, bypassing right tackle Kaleb McGary and sacking Kirk Cousins ​​while causing a fumble. The Steelers recovered the ball, but the referees called Watt offside.

Judge for yourself.

It looks like Watt moved at the same moment the ball did. He timed it so well that he was almost in the backfield before anyone else on the Steelers’ defensive line even moved.

After the loss of possession was overturned by the call, Watt was furious. He was seen intensely telling Mike Tomlim about it on the sidelines and also yelled at one of the referees several times.

The interaction with the officer was shared by FOX in slow motion and high definition on social media.

Kirk Cousins ​​​​threw a touchdown pass on the very next play.
